ashish2001mca Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Hi, I am using autocad 2006, and I am having jpeg images from our client. Now my problem is how I convert that jpeg file into dwg file. Please help me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organic Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Lots of programs available for this (I think there is also an AutoCAD command, although can't quite remember it). http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=convert+image+to+dwg&btnG=Google+Search&meta=&aq=f&oq= I tried a couple and the results are certainly far from stunning.

Tankman Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Converting images and pdf's to CAD can be done however, like Dink's states, "The results are certainly far from stunning." After conversion, lots of clean-up is in order, then remove the image. Ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Install AutoCAD 2010 and trace over image using Geometry Constraints and Parametric Dimensions or if the images are images of original dwg geometry request the original dwg intellectual property from the client (be prepaired to pay a fee).

CADMASTER1128 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Install AutoCAD 2010 and trace over image using Geometry Constraints and Parametric Dimensions Isn't this only for PDF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankman Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I don't like jpg to dwg!.....Try to do other ways! I've put *.jpg images into ACAD, scaled and, draw over the image. Then delete the image or leave the image in the background. Not too terrible but, not great either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hi, I am using autocad 2006, and I am having jpeg images from our client. Now my problem is how I convert that jpeg file into dwg file. Please help me out. If this is a logo or other small part, then just insert it and trace it -or- use a tool like the Image Bind command in ToolPac -- see http://cadpanacea.com/node/65 for even more options. If this is an entire, complex drawing, then ask the client for a DWG. JPG is already a terrible image format to start with, and trying to do raster to vector will only result in a mess.
