From: menchett@dws012.unr.edu (Peter J Menchetti) Subject: Re: Why does Illustrator AutoTrace so poorly? Organization: University of Nevada, Reno Department of Computer Science Lines: 8 I use Arts & Letters on a PC and if you make use of the Tracing Preferences it traces beautifully. BUT - there's a trick to tracing. I've traced entire cartoon images into custom clip art, but you can't expect to just point to the image and get it just like that, it takes a little work (in some cases a lot of work). You need to trace a drawing piece by piece, and then put it together... it's kinda hard to explain in type, but if you're ever in Reno I can give you a little demonstration!
