• Raster Entity Manipulation

  Raster Entity Manipulation

  Raster Entity Manipulation (REM) is a powerful feature in AutoCAD that allows you to edit raster images as if they were vector entities. Whether you’re working with bitonal, color, or grayscale images, REM provides flexibility and precision in manipulating raster data. In this course, you’ll learn how to create, edit, and manage raster entities using AutoCAD tools.

  
  Course Objectives

  The material presented in this course will teach you:

  • The 3 types of raster entities: regions, enhanced regions, and primitives (lines, circles, arcs)
  • Create and edit raster entities using AutoCAD commands
  • Configure REM settings for display colors, clipboard options, and non-continuous linetype detection
  • Common REM tools, such as Knife, Smooth, Extend, Trim, and Convert to Raster Images
  • To apply REM techniques to manipulate raster data
