    Going to need some cleanup. I have never seen a perfect raster to vector assuming any software (multiple softwares). So, tablet trace? I don't believe, not a troll. Do this for a living. I have access to pretty much everything. Not trolling, simply don't see it. Scan it, drop it into... I dunno, autocad, mastercam, clean it up, never had it go any other way for me. Minimum radius compensation, tangencies, simple UM connections within machine tolerance? I am suspect.

    Oh yeah, not right out of box, not turn key, I assure you.

    shoot me out the damn thing, i'll do something with it.

    I have been using john walsh's software now for some time,i am not a cad person and I have used a scanner too and that does work up to a certain size
    But this particular drawing table is huge 70x54 in drawing surface of 44x60 so it will trace out parts up to 3/4 or 1/2 thick
    But there is cleanup of the vectors ,now simple diagrams like I done a sunflower head it was almost ready for cutting with not touch up
    Contact John Walsh Texas google logic trace cnc dxf software and write to him ,tell him your story

    And I did mention in my videos it takes pratice

    I agree,
    There are limits, scaling, experience, cad/cam variety (some tools work better in different situations, i have no doubt) all will make the difference.

    Practice will turn into a skill.

    luck

    do you have a recommendation for vector _ node clean up.
    I use vetric aspire 4.54 but its a woodworking program for cnc machine and also creates a toolpath
    but for plasma operators this is a waste of money
    I am always on the lookout for something else

    Maybe Draftsight? is a free AutoCAD clone

    woodman..


    while it is a great stuff.. and I used a 12x18 digitizing table with autocad in the early 90's ...
    but in autocad I could assign hundred of commands to certain points on the table.. that's why was useful in autocad..

    today I would make a good photo of this plan, and pull into any vectorprogram.. and trace only manually.. giving main points and using beziers..

    CorelDraw or the program youre using..

    cleaning up the vectors CorelDraw the simplest way at this time..
    all automatic traceing, or vector smoothing has limitation and always out from the human eye expect..

    you can try CorelDraw, it is 25 per month
    any month you pay you use it, when you don't use don't pay.. and always has the latest version..

    with other words programs never be more intelligent than human brain..

    ================================================== =======

    in the early 90s there weren't any accessible digital camera..
    today a 50 dollar phone has better camera than in the 90s a good professional camera was costing thoushands..

    this is how things are getting obsoleted..

    victorofga! Me too, sucks to know this stuff. Back to the topic.

    working on uploading the damn rar file.


    • vector magic.rar - Your file of 10.30 MB bytes exceeds the forum's limit of 8.58 MB for this filetype.

    lil pieces?
