Yes, if I take the time to export like a dxf, the export now allows you to export as version 3.?? so older plasmacams can handle the file, but I usually just do dxfmetalart wrote:Thanks for the pcm file, but I must not have the newer format, couldn't open it. Got the dxf file though, Thanks, you are great at doing the vehicles. Is there anyway you can save the pcm's in an older version?
pratt, I am using the basic design edge software......I very rarely use the auto trace that it has....I have never had much luck with it. What I do is import the picture and when the window opens up there is a box that says convert to vector....uncheck that and it wont convert the pic.....but....it will bring it into the software so you can do a manual trace on it....it is that simple. Just trace any outlines you want and then I do an offset of all the lines to create a double line and most times you can just link them to create a closed path and some times you will have to draw lines between to link the double lines, then you can smooth out any sharp points and flaws in the drawing by using the filet and paint brush. I hope things are a little clearer. I wish I could do a demo video, but I just dont have the capabilitys...........prattswelding wrote:BrianMick wrote:here is a real quick job, but should do the trick, (hand traced in designedge in 13 minutes)

Nice work Brian, but I have to ask, how are you pulling that off with Designedge? I tried to use the trace on mine and it came out all messed up. Is that the basic version of the software that you're using? What kind of tracing equipment do you use?
Not correcting you, just adding a possibility, I'm not sure but it looks close.acourtjester wrote:I stand corrected
