Recommended line drawings for Line Scan

 

  • Line drawings must be drawn clearly using lines with approximately 1 mm thickness.
  • Line drawings should be drawn in a strong contrast.
  • If the lines are too short or gathered too densely, they will not be scanned correctly.
  • For details on creating patterns using color illustrations, refer to How to Create a Pattern with Illustration Scan. [My Design Center].

  • If you cannot scan the drawings as expected, you can edit the design in My Design Center.

  • Line drawings are scanned without recognizing the thickness of lines. If you want to change the thickness of lines, specify in the settings screen.

  • Line drawings are scanned as black lines. If you want to change the colors, specify in My Design Center.
