Inkscape trace bitmap? SOLVED

thanks so much.

this is what it looks like, not to much difference.
when i take it to inkscape do i need to trace bitmap it?
i tried and nothing happened.

I would then put that SVG into fusion 360.

Maybe a Inkscape Guy can help @toolboy

i got it to bitmap, operator error!

if i take it to fusion what would i need to do from there? is it a detailed process?

You should be able to save that SVG at the size you need in Inkscape and then use Convertio to convert if to a DXF. I’ve found that converting to DXF with Convertio produces a better result than “trace bitmap” in Inkscape.

post your original file and I few of us can take a crack at different methods.

My workflow would be much like this in video 5. besides whatever repair or modification the file requires .

I almost never use inkscape anymore .

Convertio.co algorithms seems to be improving exponentially.

I’ve been really impressed with the results on some fairly complicated images.

ETA the SVG didn’t load!

this is where i got to, i had to walk away cause i was confused! :grinning:
I think i have it traced in the red with the black JPEG next to it.

I need to add it to the center of the 12x12 cross

I still have some things to fix.

worked on my end ?

this SVG works

Thanks, I would need to remove the inner line on the letters so it would be solid cut out.

it is going in the center of this

this one is slightly cleaner

yes definitively more work to finish this design

I would be in Fusion 360 after converti.co so…

Any Inkscape guys out there to carry this one on?

i will work on it some more thank you for your help.

yea! thanks. i just have to figure out how to fill it with black! hahahahah

I’ll get!

ETA I lost the file somehow in inkscape, so i will have to redraw it! :grimacing:
but please tell me what happened.
does anyone know what happens to this when i try to fill with black?
Is there some invisible line i’m not seeing?
