Digitizing?

Post by wkearney99 »

Anyone use a Piranha with a Digitizer attachment?

Is there other software that can be used with it to trace outlines instead of going stair-step over a square section?

Assuming, of course, that it'd have to be plugged into the control box via USB.

Rather than tracing an outline with a digitizer, try taking a photo of the object against a white background, import the jpg, and trace it. Use the Set Selected Objects Size tool to adjust the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the trace to match the original. You can then use the Vector Boundary tool to generate an outline vector.
