| DRAWings® Demo D : |
Create A Design From a Scanned Bmp Pixel
Artwork |
Step 1: We know that DRAWings® creates
embroidery designs based on pure vector files. Therefore, we
have to first convert a scanned-in pixel file into a vector
file. The quality of the original image dictates how good the
vector result will be, and how much editing may be needed before
generating stitches.
Now let's open a bmp file in CorelDRAW®, as shown below. |
|
|
|
Step
2: On the top main menu, click "Bitmaps" and "Trace Bitmaps".
This will open the CorelTRACE application inside CorelDRAW®. |

|
|
|
Step
3: From the CorelTRACE window, select a proper trace option
and click the "Trace" icon. The auto trace will create a vector
file, as shown on the right side of the window below. |

|
|
|
| Step
4: Simply close the Trace window and click the "Save" icon, the
vector file is ready in DRAWings® window as shown below: |
|
|
|
Step 5: Click the "Stitch" Tab for the stitch
result. |
|
|
|
| Step
6: Let's take a closer look at the final design from top to bottom. |
