    image to outline

    I have an image I'm trying to get into an out line, or anything that I can do some engraving with. I have V21, but am unfamiliar with it as I don't/boss don't give time to get used to. Anyway, can this be done and how?
    Thanks,
    Paul in OKC

    This is one way if you have access to Corel OCR trace.

    Paul,

    You can import tha image as an Object: Eidt => Insert Object. You will then be able to manually trace the outline of the image.

    The other route would be BobART or another system that allows Raster to Vector conversion.

    try Acme Profiler Coyote as well. It works well.

    Regards
