The image is a bit small to get a decent auto trace, so I'd do a full manual trace on that.

The only "arty" manual tracing is the "Welcome".

The rest of it can be done with basic shapes, then skewing them, rotating them, welding them, doing a "back minus front", etc.

The fan blades (or whatever they are) could be done by drawing just one, then doing a repeat rotate.

Hopefully a stock font could used for the numbers.

Thanks guys. I had a customer send me "their dxf file " of this drawing and it was a nightmare. i just though i would post it so maybe someone could use it.
Of course they don't want to pay to have the file fixed or re drawn. You know how it goes they want a custom sign at wal-mart prices. I figured with all the time they wasted of mine i would share their design on here.LOL

Did you give them a price to have it traced ? I'm curious how much was too much for them.

Two words I'm learning (way too late of course), are ELIMINATE and FAST.

Anything or anyone (i.e. potential customers) that doesn't make money, eliminate them fast, and move on to the next thing.

This took me about 2-3 minutes to convert. I imagine that I could get a very clean file that was cut ready in about 15 minutes or less.

I get a 50 dollar deposit on any custom signs before i start. Then i charge them the cost of the drawing if i have to get someone to draw it for me. I learned a long time ago to get a deposit unless its something simple. People that are serious about getting a custom sign have no problem paying a deposit. Tire kickers and people that are just wasting my time go silent when i mention "deposit" some try to keep wasting my time and i just say we need to get that deposit before we do anything.

To clean this up I remade everything except the text that's still just auto trace.
