krando505 Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Hey guys, im new to this forum but have a question and need major help. people send me jpegs alot and i have to then transfer them into DXF's so i can send it out to my waterjet. but what i need help in is outlining and tracing the image. is there any software that i can buy that outlines to image good so i dont have to spend a crap load of time fixing the dxfs??? any help would be awesome thanks Quote
f700es Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 WinTopo is a free one that will help but there is no magic raster-to-vector that is perfect. Quote
stupot Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Got a sample of one of the jpegs? Illustrator does a fairly good job of tracing to vector... Quote
krando505 Posted November 4, 2010 Author Posted November 4, 2010 ya i have tried the illustrator way but it still doesnt come out good enough...still spending more time in CAD trying to connect everything...i was hoping for that awesome program that does it all for you haha thanks guys Quote
krando505 Posted November 4, 2010 Author Posted November 4, 2010 is there any quick clean up for these files??? Quote
stupot Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Would still be handy if you posted up an example... Quote
f700es Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Honestly in the past I just imported the jpeg into CAD and traced over. Simple and done Quote
