Question

Curves aren't smooth

My curves aren't smooth. I'm trying to trace a musical note with the pen tool, but it comes out rather sharp and bumpy. I want it to be smooth. Any suggestions?

Hi Philip

with such a clear black and white bitmap figure, just use in Animate Modify / Bitmap / Trace Bitmap ... with the following settings:

Left side is the vector, right side your bitmap. You have to erase all the white areas and select all that remains (black) and do Modify / Combine Objects / Union. This makes it a Drawing Object, better, because otherwise you have some outline residue on the outer edges.

the pen tool is for creating lines and bezier curves, not for tracing.  use the pencil tool for tracing.
