Need trace help please

[Jstruzik]

Hi, my buddy’s youth wrestling club is looking for me to make them a couple medallions that they wear around their necks when they win. Could somebody help me with a trace on this? Don’t need the blue letters, just the outside and inside done. Thanks in advance

The yellow part is all straight lines. Just bring the photo into your cad program and draw some lines. Should be simple if you have any cad experience at all. If not, it would be a good first project to learn on.

I do have Qcad. I can draw a box so I was trying my best LOL. Thanks

YouTube is a good place to learn how to draw things. If you can import the picture into qcad then you should be able to use a line tool and outline the picture.
I'm no cad whiz, and a couple of years ago I couldn't have even drawn a box, but the more you work with it the easier it gets.

Here you go - look up my youtube of using paint.net to get something that will auto trace. I just manually traced this in about 10 minutes. Made you a 4" round medallion with the logo, a 3.5" wide of just the logo. Also threw in cut paths (using a .045 kerf estimate) and left the original trace as well.

You're certainly welcome! I learn something new every day and hope to continue that until I'm no longer sucking wind! As my daddy always said, those that believe they've arrived are usually the ones with the longest yet to go.
