Erasing an Image

You can erase part of an imported image, or all of it by drawing with a rubber cursor over it.

Before you begin: Import an image. See Importing Images as a Support.
  1. From the Images section of the action bar, tap Image Eraser .
    An eraser cursor appears with the size previously defined:

    Options are available in the Graphic Properties frame at the right of the screen.
  2. Optional: Set your options as desired.
    OptionDescription
    Opacity (%) Drag the slider or edit the value to define the opacity of the curve (as a percentage).
  3. Draw using the cursor over the image to erase parts of it.


    If the image is completely erased, it is deleted, and removed from the tree.

    Note: In case of a SVG image, a message asks you to convert the image into a PNG image and:
    • Duplicate it (it is shown as Native in the tree).
    • Replace it.
  4. To modify the resolution of the image, press the pen button bound to the right-click of the pointer and tap the image edge.
    The Image Resolution panel appears and displays the possible available resolutions.
  5. From the standard area of the action bar, tap Transform.
    Tip: You can also double-tap the image to launch the Transform command.
  6. Transform the selected curves by performing either of the following operations:
    • Resize the curves by dragging the corners or the edges of the handle's plane.
    • Translate the curves along the directions of the handle.
    • Translate the curves along the normal of the handle.
    • Rotate the curves using the center point of the handle.
    Transformation operations are also available by double-tapping the image, and through Modify.
  7. Optional: Copy, cut, paste, or delete the image as appropriate.

You can now use this image as a drawing support for sketching or tracing.
