![]() ![]() Now return to your canvas and click inside the vector path with your chosen color to fill the inside of the path and up to the vector path under any current lines. In this screen, click the checkbox next to “Fill up to vector path” as shown below. To do this, click on the icon that looks like a little wrench in the lower right corner of the Tool property window to bring up the Sub tool detail options. ![]() We can also tell CSP to fill up to the center of the vector line when it fills. This icon is indicated in the screenshot below. Under the Tool property window, find the “Refer multiple” option and select “All Layers” from the options. This will allow us to reference a layer we’re not on, so we have our fill separate from the lines. In the Sub Tool options, select the “Refer other layers” subtool. You will need to create a new Raster layer and place it beneath the vector layer in the Layer palette list. You can also add a fill color to vectors just by using the Fill subtool. In the image below I’ve used the “Blurred rainbow” Decoration tool to trace the ruler I made. Once the vector is turned into a layer, use your preferred drawing tool on the ruler. For this article I’m going to set the option to “Show in all layers” so that any layer I create will show the ruler on it and make it useable, even if we are twenty layers above the ruler layer at the time! The following image shows the location of the “Set showing area of ruler” dropdown. You can set the ruler to be shown in all layers, to be shown only when in the same folder as the layer that the ruler is on, or to show only when editing the layer the ruler is on. Click on it to show the dropdown menu with the ruler options. Find the “Set showing area of ruler” options in the Layer palette, below the opacity slider. This will turn the vector path into a ruler that you can use any of the CSP drawing tools on, including the Decoration and pattern brushes! If you want to draw on the ruler while on a new layer that isn’t taken up by the vector already, you may need to change the ruler options. From the menu, go up to Ruler/Frame and then select “Ruler from vector” from the menu. To turn a vector into a ruler, right-click on the vector object’s layer in the Layer palette. Imported SVGs can also be turned into rulers very easily. You have the same amount of control over the imported vector as you would with one that is created in CSP with the built-in vector tools. Or use the Move Control Point option of the Control Point subtool (under the Correct Line category of tools, shown below). To edit the shape of the vector object, the Object subtool can be used. Using the Object subtool, the vector can be selected and we can see all the control points and control handles that will allow us to edit the shape of this line, if desired. In the screenshot below, you can see that my SVG vector file has been added to the Clip Studio page. We’ll cover adding vector fills in Clip Studio a little later! Vector lines will be imported as vectors, while vector fills will be loaded just as a vector outline. Click on the file name and then click “Open” to start the import. In the screen that comes up, navigate to the location where your SVG file is saved. Once you have your SVG file, click on File, then go down to Export and over to Vector, as shown in the screenshot below. I will be using a vector shape created in Illustrator for the examples in the first part of this article. If the vector file is not an SVG format, you will need to open it in a vector program, such as Adobe Illustrator, and save it as an SVG before it can be used in Clip. #CLIP STUDIO CONVERT RASTER TO VECTOR FILL FREE#In order to import an SVG file to Clip Studio Paint, you will need a vector that is in SVG format, of course! Sometimes you can find these files as free or cheap downloads from other sites. In this article we will cover the following topics: Vectors are useful for all sorts of applications, and now they can be saved from other vector programs and imported into Clip Studio for use, and vectors from CSP can be exported to other applications as well! The ability to work with both raster and vector in one file is one of the great things about Clip Studio Paint. Many of you probably know my name from those books, in fact! ![]() I was a beta-tester on the Manga Studio 5 program and for Clip Studio Paint, and I have written three books and several video courses about the program. Hello! My name is Liz Staley and I’m a long-time user of Clip Studio Paint (I started using the program back when it was known as Manga Studio 4!). ![]()
