Small lacks

It is possible to carry to program limitation still feeble enough function of autotrace though the firm allocates remarkable program Streamline 4.0 which allows quickly and to vectorize qualitatively point images in the vectorial. And if the firm included good function of rasterization of vector images and possibility of handling of point images it would seem logical that for conversion of point images in vectorial it was not required special about gram.

There was some uncertainty and with three tools of selection - Selection (Selection), Direct Selection (the Partial selection) and Group Selection (Selection in group), at least last two are intersected in the functions, besides, difficultly enough to select the objects close allocated with each other (passage in a key line mode, substantial growth is required). In programs Macromedia FreeHand and ?orelDRAW such tool one, but it perfectly well consults with all functions by a combination to service keys.

And absolutely absence ????????????????? owing to what even own format PDF on which the firm lays hopes extremely, opens only on one page seems to strange.
