converting-Picture to DXF

Post by ssbn.981 »

hey everyone and anyone!

i have seen some people asking how to convert pictures to dxf. i have never done this. i usually do my own drawings, sometimes i will import a drawing and make my own nodes and adjust from there. could someone explain the process to me?

thanks,

If its like a line drawing or something not to complicated

you can auto trace it in inkscape "free" or corel draw $$ and many other programs.

auto trace is easy. hand tracing is more complicated.

there are a bunch of tutorials on the web to teach you.

hypertherm 65
corel x6
mach 3, sheet cam
