How do I import and trace a picture (shape) into AutoCAD 2014?

[riahc3]

Hello,

 

First off, I am a complete newcomer when it comes to AutoCAD so please bear with me.

 

I want to import a simply picture (flat "Paint drawn" star, for example) into AutoCAD 2014 then want to trace it there so it can be a AutoCAD 2014 format to be able to scale it very easy it and resize it without any degration.

 

Thank you and Im sorry for such a simple question

Hi buddy, I am also using Autocad 2014.

 

Try "command - imageattach' to insert image......

 

If you just type image in commandline you'll get couple of option to edit your image, which shown in below image....

Thank you

 

After I import it, how do I trace it? Like I said, they are simple 2D flat painted with Paint pictures....Nothing complicated.

Use the line or polyline command and draw right over the top of your image. Set up a separate layer for this so both the image and your new geometry are not on the same layer.
