To Change the Vector Merge Defaults

1. Click Raster menu Options. The Raster Design Options dialog box is displayed.
2. Click the Vector Merge tab.
3. Under Prompting Options, select one of the following:
   • Select Prompt to Delete Vector if you want to be prompted to delete all selected vectors after the Vector Merge command is completed.
   Note: Selecting this check box disables the Always Delete Vector and the Never Delete Vector options.
   • Click Always Delete Vector to delete all selected vectors after the vector merge command is completed.
   • Click Never Delete Vector to preserve selected vectors after the vector merge command is completed.
4. Under Merge Options, select any of the following options you want to incorporate in future vector merge operations:
   • Expand Image If Necessary, to expand your image to the extents of the vector.
   • Respect Display Order, to incorporate your current display order.
   Note: If a vector lies behind the image and Expand Image If Necessary is not selected, then the vector is not merged into the image unless the image is transparent. For more information, see Transparent Color of an Image.
   • Create New Raster, to create a new image rather than merge the vectors into an existing image.

     This is useful if, for instance, you want to transmit your drawing information in raster format.

5. Click OK to accept the changes.
