Convert Picture/Image to DXF

July 30th, 2009 Alex Posted in cad, gimp, pictures Comments Off

  1. First, do edge detection using GIMP (or any other image editing program)
  2. Then, convert to SVG using Inkscape (File – Import, then Path – Trace Bitmap)
  3. Save as a DXF
  4. Fix DXF in AutoCAD (because it probably created too many lines)
