Import Raster To Vector
This command creates polylines from a raster image. The image can
be either an external .bmp file or an image inserted in the
drawing.
For the external file to process other file types, such as .tif or
.jpeg, open the image up in Microsoft Paint and Save As the file as
a monochrome .bmp. In the dialog below, you can specify the Layer,
Color, Scale, and whether to draw the entities on the screen or
write a .dxf file. Minimum Polyline Length will reduce the amount
of line segments created from the conversion.For an image in
the drawing, you can process the entire image or limit the area to
process by window or inclusion polylines. The Erase Selection
option wipes out the image with the specified Backgroudn Color in
the area that is processed.
