Paul,
I have a set of RC giant scale plans which came online as a
pdf (raster). What would be a good program for converting
bulkheads and ribs to dxf for a CNC router?
I'm following the Rhino posts, very interesting!
Thanks,
JimR


Good question. I don't know the answer.
Sounds like some kind of scanner program that can detect
lines.

Rhino can put a picture in the back ground but then you must
manually trace it.

Send me one of the pdf's.

I've looked for such a program but have not found anything that
produced any real 'usable' geometry. Keep us in the loop if you
find anything. I've got a few projects I'd do but don't have the
patience to manually 'trace' them all.
