Help with reducing objects in image
Hi peeps, I’m trying to do a boundary on a vector file, but the file has 8000 objects in it and every time I try to put a boundary around the group X5 crashes.
Is there any way I can reduce the amount of objects so I can put a cut line in around the image?
Cheers

try not to select it all at once…worth a try.

thats not possible, there are 8000 objects how am i going to find what object I want?
-
arrange group then effects create boundary
-
yeah I know how to do that but it’s crashing as there are so many objects in the image, but cheers anyway
-
can you delete the inner objects
or
select all and hit weld might do it otherwise post and I can take a look later -
yeah, weld crashes it too
-
well if u cant do the reduce node thing, i mean lots of manual editing… then you can convert the Bitmap and then trace… or use Magic Vector (?) website to trace it
-
Can you post the file Mo or is it massive?
-
Could try wireframe view and marquee select groups you know are safe to delete..
-
its a vector image that I bought online lol… it’s massive but i can yousendit to anyone who wants a look

Hi Mo,
Possibly weld smaller sections at a time, saving as you go. 8000 objects? might still take a while…
Otherwise, if its only an approximation to the original outline, colour everything black, export as jpg and let corel retrace as a single colour object.

I solved it, I opened it in photo shop, saved it as a single layer in a pdf, imported into corel, traced the image, put the cut line in, deleted the image then put the original vector image inside the cut line…… Long winded but job done.
Thanks everyone for you help
