LiveView Exercise: Merging Vectors

In this exercise, you update a drawing and merge new vector data with existing raster data.

To merge vectors into raster data
1

Open the file C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD Raster Design 2020\Getting Started Guide\LiveView_Merge.dwg.

You see a drawing of a school. The white raster data indicates the original building, and the colored vector data indicates the additional classrooms.

2 Click Raster menuMergeConfigure Raster Pens to open the Raster Pen Settings dialog box.
3

Select the Red pen color, set its pen width to 1 pixel, then click OK.

With this setting, the doors will be drawn in thinner raster lines than the walls.

Click Raster menuMergeVector Into Raster. Select the vector block of new classrooms by drawing a window around it, then right-click to end the selection. Press Enter to accept the default setting of deleting the vectors after the merge.

The vector data is merged with the raster data.
