You can directly convert, or rasterize, a vector graphic to a bitmap image in
FreeHand using the Rasterize command. The rasterized object becomes an
embedded TIFF file residing in the FreeHand document.
Rasterizing replaces the original vector graphic with the new bitmap image. If you
want to keep the original graphic, make a copy and rasterize the copy.
If the graphic is too large or complex to rasterize directly in FreeHand, an error
message appears. For more complex graphics, use the FreeHand export option.
For more information, see "Saving and Exporting Files" on page 421.
Choose Modify > Rasterize.
