Import regions in a new Cad drawing
If you already have a vectorial (Dxf,
Dwg, Dc1, Hpgl, Plt) or raster (Gif, Jpeg, Bmp, Png, Tif, Tga, Pcx) file
including the drawing/image of the Parts, after you created a new Cad
drawing, you can use the "File - Import... - Import Regions from
many file types..." menu.
If enabled you will see the
'Filter and optionally scale elements' dialog if you select a vectorial
file, or the
'AutoTrace elements' dialog if you select a raster file.
At the end of the process, you will get the detected Regions inside your Cad
drawing. You can now cut them or modify them.
