Love you more than Coffee
Found this cute sign, but I can't seem to get Inkscape to trace. When I open my trace in Draftsight the splines go crazy.

Re: Can't seem to trace this
Go to this post and watch the video that rdj357 posted it really helps to prepare some images for tracing with inkscape.

Re: Can't seem to trace this
With help from acourjester in another thread, I traced it in Inkscape. When I go to open it in DraftSight the dreaded splines mess it all up for me. I get this. It looks like a nice smooth path in Inkscape. Just when I thought I had this tracing thing figured out...

Re: Can't seem to trace this
There are software package the don't play nice with each other. Inkscape will allow you to save file in both DXF and SVG so I don't know why you want to go to DraftSight unless you cannot use those file formats.
Personally, I think it is very insecure for a company to make it so you can only play ball with their ball.

Re: Can't seem to trace this
When I save as DXF in inkscape it makes splines. How can I get it to make polylines instead? The splines are the issue for me. I am familiar with DraftSight, that is why I use it. If I open files without splines it works fine.

Re: Can't seem to trace this
Okay, I found some info on the inkscape forum that seems to work.
http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=12841
Apply 'Extensions > Modify Path > Flatten Bezier' first, then save a copy as DXF.
This gets rid of the splines.

Re: Love you more than Coffee
I want to say thanks for the svg file. I really want to say thank you to Dave for the inkscape tutorial, I've been using Inkscape but that was a really good lesson. I tried DraftSight a long while ago and hated it. I find DeltaCad an inexpensive, very easy to learn program. I did as Dave's suggested and only had 19 intersections to repair and the file looks great!

Re: Love you more than Coffee
Thanks for the file country1. Kind of forgot about this thread. I got the dxf figured out a while back and cleaned it up some, and then I guess I forgot to post it back. I haven't cut it yet.
