It is best to upscale the image with Paint or Gimp. This improves the resolution and makes it easier to extract a precise contour. Please reset the global scaling factor!

The best way to check this is by:
- The number of visible contours matches the number of detected contours, see bottom left in the status area Visible elements: x of x.
- Moving a point to see if there is another contour underneath it.
The best way to check this is by:
- In the drawing area with the function “Open element” (select only one line of the contour) and the function “Connect two identical elements” (select the two points of the open contour).
- With a graphic dividing line, e.g. in Paint or Gimp.

ContourTrace is a pure 2D programme. Depths can therefore only be implemented in an external CAD programme.
However, contour colours can be used to transfer information, e.g. the depth, laser power and cutting speed.
Yes, by using the action Draw rectangular polygons action in the drawing tab.
After drawing the contour to precisely place the four points, select each point individually and define the x and y values for each frame point in the Point properties group on the Drawing tab.
When you close the software, the last settings used are saved. These are immediately available again when you open the software.
There are three possibilities:
- Copying and redesigning an existing contour
- Extending an existing contour to include the recessed grips
- Drawing the recessed grip into the raster graphic using a drawing program such as Paint or Gimp.
How do you align the images? Is there such a thing as crosshairs?
- Contours can be moved, copied, rotated, scaled, mirrored, and manipulated in the drawing area.
- Lines and points can be arranged horizontally or vertically.
If the camera parameters have changed between the images taken, the scale must be set for each individual contour using the Scale function.
If the camera parameters have not changed between the images taken, the scaling factor can be set once globally for these images.
Inserts a chamfer of a certain length at the selected point or at both ends of the selected line segment. Several elements can be selected.
Note
The specified chamfer length must be less than half of the smallest line segment in the selection..

Naudodami "ContourTrace" galite greitai ir lengvai kurti kontūrus, taupydami brangius išteklius - laiką. Dėl to jūsų įmonė gali sutaupyti daug lėšų ir sumažinti išlaidas.
"ContourTrace" siūlo paprastą, greitą ir automatizuotą kontūrų išskyrimą iš vaizdų. Pagrindinis dėmesys skiriamas paprastumui. Naudojant 2.1.0 versijos plėtinius, kontūrus galima lengvai tvarkyti ir pritaikyti savo poreikiams.
"ContourTrace" - tai programinė įranga, leidžianti automatiškai, lengvai ir greitai išgauti kontūrus ir splainus iš vaizdų ir eksportuoti juos į DXF arba SVG formatą. Įprasti naudojimo atvejai yra, pavyzdžiui, įrankių kontūrų išskyrimas kuriant įrankių įdėklus arba šešėlines plokštes. Be to, yra daugybė kitų naudojimo atvejų tiek privačioje, tiek pramoninėje aplinkoje.
