rsaucier Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Jonas, Thanks. I tried it. Worked OK but lots of errors in the dxf created with the file I tried. RJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlehnhaeuser Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 RJ I use Inkscape, it has a real good image tracer with alot of tweaking options, then you can export to DXF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rronstad Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Hi RJ, Tom is right about Inkscape, but Adobe Illustrator is also very good at converting to vector graphics and post as dxf or dwg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsaucier Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Thank you everyone for the input. I wound up using InkScape and worked beautifully. RJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
