Trace Tools in TurboCAD
Trace Tools has equipped TurboCAD with the capability to transform 2D raster images into vector tracings, a process that is invaluable for architects, engineers, and designers alike. Available in the Platinum, Professional, and Deluxe versions of TurboCAD, the Trace Tools offer a robust set of functionalities:
Trace by Rectangle: This tool allows users to create vector tracings within a specified rectangular area. It's particularly useful when working with inserted pictures, enabling users to trace over images and convert them into editable CAD drawings.
Trace by Point: Similar to Trace by Rectangle, this tool traces objects within a defined area, sized by the Aperture field. It's ideal for tracing specific parts of an image or design.
Local Menu Options: The Trace Tools come with a variety of settings that significantly influence the quality and appearance of the trace. Users can adjust the Smooth Level to reduce jagged lines, the Noise Level to minimize spots, and the Thinning Level to control line widths.
Enhancing CAD Workflows
The Trace Tools are more than just conversion utilities; they are workflow enhancers. By providing a preview mode, users can see their tracings in real-time, ensuring accuracy before finalizing the design. Moreover, the ability to trace around selected colors adds a layer of precision that is crucial for detailed work.
The Impact on Design
The introduction of Trace Tools has had a profound impact on the design process. They have simplified the transition from concept to digital model, saving time and resources. Designers can now focus more on creativity and less on the technicalities of digitizing images.
