Import polylines in a new Cad drawing


Import polylines 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 vectorial element/polylines, after you created a new Cad drawing, you can use the "File - Import... - Import Polylines 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.
