    Some general comments (not necessarily applicable to OP) on the Text to Geometry routine:



    The latest version, for AutoCAD 2012 – 2013, can be found here –

    http://apps.exchange.autodesk.com/AMECH/2013/en/Detail/Index?id=appstore.exchange.autodesk.com%3aText-to-Geometry%3aen

    That updated version gives better feedback while selecting fonts.

    fixed a bug while inserting geometry in non-World UCS.





    Most font definitions are Bezier curved based, and the same type is created with the Text to Geometry routine. Older CAM software may not process splines. If that is the case, use Express Tool’s Flatten command to convert the Splines to arcs.



    Addition geometric modification can be achieved via STSC_Projective2D (also 2012 – 2013 only):

    What do you mean by a "picture file"? What is the file extension?

    There are softwares to vectorise images, but you will have to make "small" corrections. Often the work is the same as redraw the whole thing in AutoCAD by hand.
    Insert the image in the drawing, choose a color and draw polylines over the lines in the image.
    The subject was discussed a few times in the past, search in the forum say for Vectorise
