Choosing a Line Type

Once you've made your Capture, you can choose between two conversion options: Outline and Centerline.

Choose Outline if you would like to convert the inner and outer edges of your pen stroke to vectors. The Outline option is best for drawings created using thick pens or for filled shapes. 

Choose Centerline if you would like to generate a single line along the center of your pen stroke.

The Centerline option is best for more detailed drawings that have been created with thin tip pens e.g. signatures or lettering. The Centerline option makes it easy to create engravings with Origin or other digital fabrication tools.
