archturn 0 Posted April 30, 2012 Does anyone have a suggestion for converting a jpg image to a line drawing usable in VW? Is there software that will do this? Quote Share this post Link to post
CipesDesign 148 Posted April 30, 2012 No way that I know of, except to import the JPG, scale properly, then trace. Sorry... Quote Share this post Link to post
IanH 1 Posted April 30, 2012 Vectorworks does have a trace bitmap but I have only used it with limited success. Not sure if it is part of fundamentals or just the design series suite. Quote Share this post Link to post
Pat Stanford 1,450 Posted April 30, 2012 There is a program called Imagaro Z. http://www.imagaro.com/ Designed for signmakers to convert raster to vector images. Available for both Mac and Windows. I have not used it but the demo at MacWorld is very impressive. Quote Share this post Link to post
Vincent C 24 Posted April 30, 2012 Many printing shops have this capability, i.e.. vectorizing images, don't find it very useful thought, lots of lines and dots, almost nothing is exact so it doesn't help very much if you want real accuracy...... Quote Share this post Link to post
