Pencil
● ●
The Pencil tool will create freehand lines on a
bitmap using the foreground color.
Fill
● ●
The Fill tool fills areas of a bitmap with the
foreground color.
Crop
● ●
The Crop tool allows you to select part of a
bitmap and delete the rest of it.
AutoTrace ● ● ● AutoTrace traces each shape in the bitmap.
ColorTrace
●
The Color Tracing converts a color bitmap into
colored paths. The color trace process involves
two steps. The first is Posterizing, which
reduces the number of colors. Then the
posterized image is traced into objects with
different colors.
Working with Effects
Color Trapping
●
The Color Trapping effect removes most of the
overlapping material between objects. The
effect leaves enough overlapping material to
ensure that no gaps will exist between the
objects, even if the registration is slightly off.
Graphic Styles Styles allow you to capture and apply the fill,
stroke and effects from one object to another.
Contour
● ● ●
Contour Cut is a feature that creates a cutting
line around objects, either vector or bitmaps.
This allows you to output an image in a printer
and then cut its contours using a cutting plotter.

diagonal dimensions of the design, or label
objects.
Automatic Dimension
● ●
The Automatic Dimension tool allows you to
automatically create horizontal and vertical
dimension lines around objects.
