converting to a cut file

Post by MJA »

I am trying to make this into a knock down fire pit like the ford and Chevy ones on here. I cant seem to get it converted into a usable image. I use inkscape or Turbocad. Any suggestions? http://www.plasmaspider.com/download/fi ... w&id=48947

Sorry, can't release files as this was a commissioned piece. Maybe it will give you some ideas.

Thanks for the ideas. I'm really trying to figure out what the next best option is to convert it to a cut image. I've only had my table for a month. The convert from bmp/jpg options in turbocad or inkscape do not give me good clean images

Reflections play havoc on a programs auto trace. That's when you need to learn manual tracing.
