3 Basics

Fit to paper

– resizing an image to the nearest standard paper sheet,

aligning the original image to the middle of a new one.

See “Changing Size” on page 42;

Rotate by 90, 180, 270

– image rotation by a specified angle.

See “Rotation” on page 48.

Default Raster Properties Section

DPI by default

DPI value used for raster images that do not contain information on resolution.

OCR

OCR Text Style Section

Specifies an AutoCAD text style to be used for text objects created using the OCR
engine of automatic vectorization procedure.

Additional Settings Section

This section concerns miscellaneous settings of WiseImage performance.

Run selection for all raster images

If On, then the selection operations are performed on all available raster images. If
Off, then the “Select Image” dialog shows and you can select one or more rasters to
process.
