11 Hybrid Editing Tools Searching and Replacing Raster and Vector Objects The search and replace operation can find vector or raster (monochrome and color) objects and replace them with any other vector or raster item. The operation can be applied to sets of vector objects. The search and replace operation is performed using the following dialog box. First it is necessary to specify, what templates should be found and with what they will be replaced. For searching and replacing templates of single type the Classic tab is used. If it is necessary to operate with a complicated set of different types, then the SRTL tab should be used. To specify a single template switch to Classic tab. Place a raster selection or vector data in the Find What box - to define a sample for searching - and setup searching parameters. To replace found objects, also place the replacing vector or raster selection in the Replace With box. Raster selections can be replaced with raster or vector samples. Vector selections can only be replaced with vector samples. The command also allows sets of vector objects to be found, which in combination resemble the vector sample. Lines, arcs, circles, and polylines can be used as a sample sets. Vector objects to be found by this command must be composed of line segments, arcs, and circles only.
