Tolerance parameter
The Tolerance parameter is used to set how much of the source color in the graphic is replaced by
another color. To replace colors that are similar to the color you are replacing, enter a low value for
the tolerance parameter. To replace a wider range of colors, enter a higher value for the tolerance
parameter.
Conversion
Contour conversion
Converts a selected graphic to a contour by creating a polygon, or a group of polygons.
1) Make sure you have finished all your editing to a graphic, then select the graphic in your
drawing.
2) Go to Modify > Convert > To Contour on the main menu bar, or right-click on the graphic
and select Convert > To Contour. Your selected graphic is converted to a contour.
If the conversion creates a group of polygons (for example a text object), then Modify > Enter
Group, or right-click on the converted graphic and select Enter Group from the context menu, or
press the F3 key to enter the group before selecting an individual polygon.
Note
Making sure you have finished all your editing to your graphic before converting to a
contour is necessary as the graphic cannot be edited after conversion.
