LiveView Exercise: Merging Vectors

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

Note: The Getting Started Guide sample files can be downloaded from https://www.autodesk.com/raster_design_getting_started_guide. Download and extract the sample files onto your workstation to use them in this exercise.

To merge vectors into raster data
1	Open the LiveView_Merge.dwg sample file. 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.
4	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.
