Raster menu
Vectorization ToolsPolyline Follower.
The following prompt appears:
Specify point to follow or [manually Add/Partial]:
- Do one of the following:
- Enter a (Add) to manually add a point.
- Enter p (Partial) to add a partial polyline. Click two points on the polyline to mark the start and end of the section you want to convert, then click the polyline. The follower traces between those points, and prompts you as shown below.
- Click a raster polyline to follow.
The following prompt appears:
Manually add point or [Add/Switch/Backup/Rollback/Direction/cOntinue/Vector/Close/Join]:
Note: When you use the Direction option, it becomes the default option until the Add option is used or until the command is completed. - Do one of the following:
- Click to manually add a point to the polyline. If Add is not the default, enter a (Add), then click to manually add a point to the polyline.
- Enter s (Switch) to switch between decision points.
- Enter b (Backup) to go back to the previous vertex.
- Enter r (Rollback), then click the vertex to which you want to roll back.
- Enter d (Direction), then click the direction you want the follower to go. You do not have to click on the entity, only near it, to specify the direction.
- Enter o (Continue) to make the follower continue in the current direction.
- Enter v (Vector), then select the vector to follow. You must specify the first and last vertices of the vector. AutoCAD Raster Design toolset follows the vector entity between these vertices.
- Enter c (Close) to close the polyline by drawing a single segment between the two decision points.
- Enter j (Join), then click an existing vector polyline to join to the current polyline.
- Press Esc to cancel the current polyline and begin another.
- Press Enter to accept the current polyline and begin another.
- Repeat step 3, or press Enter to exit the command.
Note: Use raster snapping to make it easier to pick points on the raster entity you are converting. For more information, see
Raster Snapping.
