Simon Baxter Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 We are creating an exhibition stand design and would like to CNC cut out the logo in perspex. How can I create the logo so we can illustrate this on the design and visual ? Thanks Simon Vectorworks 2019 Quote Link to comment
Phil hunt Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) Best way is to import the logo as an image and trace around .......you can then extrude give it textures and for the cnc export as dwg/ dxf.....any problem let me have the logo and I’ll sort it out for you ......ps exhibition designer 46 years.

Phil hunt Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Sorry unless some part of the logo is in a font that you have then you could type the letters and convert text to polyline....ungroup and then extrude and resize the letters to the desired size......of course you may have to trace around the logo itself.....if you have the logo as an illustrator file in outlines you could export the logo as a dwg/dxf and then import into vectorworks. Hope this helps. Phil Quote Link to comment

Simon Baxter Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Of course the first logo I tried this on was not a font and complex but with a little time invested it worked. thank you ! next time I will get the logo exported from illustrator... Quote Link to comment
Kaare Baekgaard Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 In VW 2019: Import vector logo as PDF with snap to geometry selected. Convert to group. Ungroup. Delete pixel layers. In the background you will find the vector geometry. Often with errors, but sometimes everything will be there. Quote Link to comment
