Using the
Autodigitizing Wizard
You can create embroidery from vector or
bitmap images in a few simple steps using
the Autodigitizing Wizard. The image does
not need to have each color outlined. You can
use images with shading because by
cleaning the image, Xpressive ignores
closely related colors. Simply choose an
image and follow the instructions that the
wizard gives you.
To use the Autodigitizing Wizard:
1 Choose Tools—Autodigitizer.
You will see the Autodigitizer Wizard
window.
2 Click Select Image to choose the type of
file you want to autodigitize.
3 Click Next.
You will see the Autodigitizer Wizard-
Image Transformations window. When you
autodigitize bitmap files such as *.jpg or
*.bmp files, you can crop, rotate, and
resize the image.
4 In the Set new image size area, enter a
width or height to change the image size
proportionately.
5 In the Units list, select the type of units
you want to work with.

8 To crop the image, select only the portion
you want to autodigitize.
Place your the mouse pointer over the
black dots around the image and drag
in the selection box.
If you are unhappy with your
selection, click Select All to select the
entire image again.
