Digitizing Artwork
To begin digitizing the dove
1
In Composer, click File > Digitize New. A Tablet message box will appear.
2
At the message prompt, digitize the left baseline point using button 1 on the digitizing
puck
3
At the next message prompt digitize the right baseline point using button 1.
4
Check the baseline on screen to be sure it is perfectly horizontal. If the baseline is tilted
the digitized design will be tilted also. (To redigitize the baseline, choose File >
Digitize New.)
5
When prompted digitize the design’s lower left corner using button 1. Be sure the
point is outside the bottom and leftmost points of the design.
6
At the next message prompt digitize the design’s upper right corner using button 1. Be
sure the point is outside the top and rightmost points of the design.
Note: After you digitize the upper right corner, the digitizing marks will disappear from the
Composer workspace.
Now that the baseline and frame of the design are digitized, you can begin digitizing shapes.
To digitize the head
1
Mark and digitize the dove’s head as shown above.
2
To digitize the oval eye select the Circle tool (Shift+O) in Composer. Hold Shift and
click in the center of the eye with the number 1 puck button.

Still holding Shift and button 1 click and drag the puck to the perimeter of the oval and
then release.
