We use a free raster-to-vector converter called Autotrace - available at
http://autotrace.sourceforge.net/ <http://autotrace.sourceforge.net/> 
 
Basically you convert a JPEG file to BMP format with something like
PaintShop, then run it through Autotrace to get a DXF output.
 
The results are surprisingly good; there is zero documentation however, and
the interface is DOS command line with lots of switches.
 
After unzipping the package to a folder, open a DOS box and type 
>autotrace -input-format=bmp -output-format=dxf
-output-file=MYOUTPUTFILE.DXF MYINPUTFILE.BMP

Subject: [mfg-smartcam] JPG immage file


A customer sent me logos in JPG file format for engraving.
 
Is there a shareware utility available to convert a few images to line files
for engraving ?
 
 
Any help is appreciated.
 
 
Regards,
Gary
