Could someone do me a huge FAVOR, I have been trying to turn this into dxf file for weeks using, corel, inkskape and others and can get a decent looking file. Can someone help me out in tracing it , Im trying to use it to make a christmas present for my father in law who is a big rat fink fan. Looks like it should be simple enough but im new to this and cant get it to look right for the life of me! Thanks in advance.

I used BobArt Pro (V22). The program is great for some things (i.e. the images you posted) but I hesitate to recommend it (unless you can get a huge discount).
How'd the dfx I posted work out?

Look like it will work out fine. Havent had time to cut it yet. Looking at getting vcarve pro. Loots like it would do the trick for me for this type of stuff. Thanks for the file!!!

Hi Ray,
Atatched is a DXF file created using the Image Tracing Vectorization in VCarve Pro and below is a Preview image of the Toolpath simulation showing how the job will look if machined using a 90 degree cutter.
I hope this helps,
Tony

Wow, that looks great. For vcarve how does it work. Do I download the software and they send me a registration code or something since they are overseas or is there a US retailer. I have the trial verson but can only do their sample files
