Does anyone have time/skill to turn this into an AutoCad drawing for me?

Thanks

Why Autocad ?

Couldn't you just import some other image format into ACad?


Peel that sucker off, put it on a flat white background, and run it though a scanner at 1200 dpi.

Might need a little touch-up, but basically you're done.

If you could take a picture of it without the glare on the top, and without the date/time on the bottom corner it could be converted it to vector pretty easily (or you could scan it as suggested earlier). Higher resolution the better, and a solid white background would help too. Could use the current picture but it would take longer than a proper picture.

yeap, i need to upgrade my autocad (and my computer) there is definately a bug in there somewhere. i finished the skull outline, the glasses and the mouth (all that was left was some finishing touches, and when i went to hatch the dark regions, guess what happened.

yeap the little message box saying an unexplained error has occured

ahhh. sorry, i would say that the white background would be the easiest way to do it otherwise

Blew it up 10 times the size, reduced the colors down to two. Increased the colors back up to 24million, reduced it back to original size. It can now be edited as you like. I could have spent more time playing, but I'm lazy...

:D

A program called Wintopo will convert the raster image into a vector file that can be opened and tweaked in AutoCAD. I would do it for you but I don't have AutoCAD on my laptop. And my desktop is already packed as I am moving cross country in a few days. Good luck!

Wintopo can be found here:
