zeeextra Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Hi every one I would like to convert my image which is in JPG file format into DXF format. I have used a software names Image2CAD but this softwae failed to convert my image properly. Can anyone here please help me to perform this action. I have heard about raster that via using it we can convert the image but not sure what is this . I have attached one of the image which I ould like to convert in DXF. FYI it is simply a case of converting circular objects. Please Note: I am very very new in CAD world and you may treat me as a beginer Quote
ReMark Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I'm not convinced that any of these so called "converters" really work that well if at all. Waste of money in my opinion. Quote
CyberAngel Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Since you are new to AutoCAD, you should understand that there is a fundamental difference between the ways data is represented in JPGs and DWGs. In a JPG, each pixel is treated as a unique entity, that is, there is no connection to the pixels around it. In your image, there are red pixels and white pixels in a fixed pattern--if you blow it up big enough, you can pick out the individual points. In a DWG, what you see is only an interpretation of a set of virtual objects. There is more information in a drawing than in an image, so you can rotate a drawing in any direction and still get a true picture, while an image stays flat. To convert an image to a drawing, a program must add information to it. In your case, it would have to recognize each group of pixels as a single entity, infer that each one is a circle (even when it touches another), create a circle object for each one with the proper center and radius, and decide on a way to show that they are filled. Our eyes are constantly interpreting what we see because our lives may depend on it. We take the ability for granted, but it's hideously complicated to reproduce it in software. To answer your question and agree with ReMark, you are probably not going to find a program that works any better than the one you've already tried. Quote
