CONTOURSM not getting expected results

NicodemusRa

Been trying to use CONTOURSM to get an outline of an exported PNG and JPEG (tried both, pure black, transparency on).

Followed instructions, made sure I had my image selected, but no dice

Saw a thread from last year saying there were bugs found, and that perhaps I should use TRACED, but wanted to ask as to what the current status of all of this is? I'd prefer to not have to trace my image by hand, but curious if this is the best option for me now

Thanks guys

Try this workaround:

Also note that both CONTOURSM and TRACED are commands that does this automatically, none of them require tracing by hand. You probably do want to use TRACED (after applying the fix from above)

Wow, that is exactly what I needed. Thank you so very much!

My horizons have been expanded, and its so nice to know I don't need to spend so much time to get to my next goal!

thanks again
