Image Tracer

The Image Tracer add-in lets you convert raster images in .bmp, .png, and .jpg formats to vector format. The images can be architectural plans such as floor plans, logos, and curved images.

The add-in generates lines, arcs, polylines, and curves from the vectorized image, and places these objects into the active DraftSight layer. You can use the objects as resources in your drawing.

Image Tracer provides preset profiles optimized for these type of images. You can customize these profiles or create your own. Profiles can save you time if you are converting several images with the same characteristics.

The add-in is made up of two tabs. The Basic tab lets you adjust the transparency, brightness or contrast in the image and converts the geometric entities to vector format. If you want to further enhance edges or curves, you can apply settings in the Advanced tab.
