Auto-tracing bitmap artwork

Use Auto-Digitizing > Auto\ Trace To Vectors to convert artwork to vector objects for conversion to embroidery objects.

Use Auto\ Trace To Vectors to create vector outlines from bitmap images. You can then convert these to embroidery objects using a variety of input methods. Auto\ Trace To Vectors can find holes in shapes – both inside and outside boundaries are detected.

Tip: Once digitized in EmbroideryStudio, embroidery designs can be output as vectors. These can be opened in CorelDRAW Graphics. See also Exporting embroidery as vectors.
