Lesson 10. Search and replace

Brief description: During this lesson you will learn how to search for raster objects and replace them with other raster and vector objects, and also how to search for vector objects and replace them with other vector objects.

For detailed information on these subjects see the Search and Replace section of the Quick Start guide.

How to search for vector objects and replace them with other vector objects

Choose the Open command from the File menu, and open the Search_Replace_V_V.cws file from the Lesson_10 folder.

Our task is to vectorize this image, and then to replace the specified vector objects with other ones.

  • Convert the raster image to vectors using the vectorization procedure. This document already contains pre-defined vectorization parameters, so you only need to choose Raster2Vector from the Convert menu.
  • Vectorised raster image fragment
  • Draw a vector symbol for replacement.

  • Select an object to replace using the Inside Window selection method.
  • Choose Search and Replace from the Edit menu.
  • From the Find What list of the Search and Replace dialog, choose Search Selection.

  • Select an object, with which you want to replace the original one, using Select Auto.
  • From the Replace With list of the Search and Replace dialog, choose Replace Selection.
  • Select Erase– to erase original objects.
  • Set the Accuracy slider to the middle position.
  • Press the Replace All button.

How to search for raster objects and replace them with vector objects

Choose Open from the File menu, and then open the Search_Replace_R_V.cws file from the Lesson_10 folder.

Our task is to replace specified raster objects with vector ones.

In the top-left corner there are objects specified for search and replace.

  • Select a raster object, which you want to replace using the Inside Window selection method.
  • Choose Search and Replace from the Edit menu.
  • From the Find What list of the Search and Replace dialog, choose Search Raster.
  • Select a vector object, with which you want to replace the original raster object (do not change the parameters set for the previous selection).
  • From the Replace With list of the Search And Replace dialog, choose Replace Selection.
  • Select Erase – to delete the original objects.
  • Set the Accuracy slider to the middle pPress the Replace All button.osition.
  • Press the Replace All button.
