It works like a charm to vectorize drawings, i use it to vectorize the lines drawed by hand in paper, after you ink the drawing and you clean it a bit with Photoshop, it’s ready to be vectorized. To vectorize images in color i’m afraid it’s more complicated.

Are you a 3D CAD design expert?
Responding to business queries as and when they arrive has become really important. Organizations and companies have set up their own customer support services in order to meet with the upcoming consumer demands. Today, the companies, which respond to consumers, are considered more successful than the companies who do not respond on time. The organizations moving towards 3CAD system enjoy the following benefits of CAD:
1. High quality
2. Flexibility in design changes
3. Reduced prototype expenses
4. Rapid prototyping
5. Eliminating redundancy
6. Shift from traditional paper based work to electronic paperless one
7. Accurate output
Design quality is greatly improved, human error is reduced and the need to rework is minimized with the 3D AutoCAD system. 3D design modeling significantly improves design value because it is a more comprehensive process than 2D design. Therefore, many human errors that can occur with long-established 2D design methods can be avoided.
To get quantity data, using 3D design modeling is easy because items are represented as they happen. As a result, 3D CAD design is created as a true to life model because the 3D modeling design represents quantities with accuracy. As with 2D CAD design quantity data from 2D views is poor because other components are omitted and projections may show a component in several views.
In view of the fact that cad 3D modeling can be used to generate pictorial views, as well as traditional projections, there exists no need for the 2D prototype (as it was required in the past).
2D methods will always rely on human interference whereas; 3D CAD methods can be smoothly incorporated with other computer systems within companies.

Tips To Use Myspace Layouts
The popularity of the site Myspace is growing with each day. It is already considered the most popular site on the Internet, because it offers various good features. These features are not seen on any other social networking sites. There are many users who are joining every day, and they will want different layouts for their profiles.
Myspace layouts are very popular and so there are plenty available on many sites, all free of cost. But how safe are they to use. Sometimes dealing with the Internet can be challenging. There will be many links on one site, and they will lead to other sites. One always needs to avoid advertising. There are many users who are not too sure about how to create the layouts. Since the popularity of the site has increased so much, there are so many sites that have been designed for Myspace layouts alone.
Those who are not familiar with how this is used, will instantly go to Google and start searching. What they are not aware of, is that there will be a lot of advertisements to avoid, as there will be a lot of links that are posted on several sites. Some users may even look at certain profile layouts and will want to customize theirs too the same way. By wanting to do so, they will immediately want to search for the same layouts.
Thus a little effort should be taken when hunting for good Myspace layouts. One must make sure that there will be no spamming involved, as this might lead to a lot of time being wasted. While looking for good layouts it is better for one to keep in mind what they need exactly. If at all there are sites that involve many links as well as advertisements they can be avoided. It is good to find a very simple site, which has good designs, and not any back links from these layout designers.
By using good layouts, you will have to make sure it hacks the profile of Myspace profile. By doing so, you will be able to customize all aspects of the profile one by one. Thus the results will be better too. This is far better than just getting an all-new layout, which will not allow you to make changes as you please. You must also know how to change the codes when applying the layouts, as there will be many to choose from.
If you are not familiar with what you need, or how to use these layouts, then you must be able to get help from someone. Those who are familiar with this will also give some inputs about this. Many users are likely to get bored with looking through so many sites, to choose from so many layouts. This can be narrowed down to a few by doing a little research.
