Flexi sign vectorize a logo

[Josh Kuper]

Im new to Flexi (19), ill select Vectorize and then Color Trace and drag around the logo but the centers of the letters don't get converted. If I hand select the centers and then drag around the logo then the centers get selected but that is a tedious process to hand select each letter center, there should be a better way. Enhanced Curves and Corners do select the centers but no color after converted. Any advice?

in the drop down add more color layers to include the white background. If you just have a 2 color logo then in the drop down have 3 colors to trace. If you only have it set to 2 then Flexi will disregard the white.

as a side note for better quality you should consider typesetting the wording with the proper font. The autotrace does a terrible job with the letters. The font is Gotham. And that top R is just a few geometric shapes that should take no more than a minute or so to trace manually

I agree with The Vector Doc, but you still need to learn how to use the trace tool correctly.
In most cases, I vectorize using the bezier tool under the "bitmap" menu.
See attached. 'Nuff said.

Yeah I agree with Vector dr too. Always try to get the font and insert it for perfect result. Or even find one as close as possible and modify.

after vector tracing you might need to select all & make it compound. then all the interior holes get corrected. this is an old F up of Flexi.

Wireframe it and see if the centers are there.. They may only need changing to white.
