Tracing a photo in Artcam.

[Kurt Rosenzweig]

Hi People! I'm still on the learning curve side of the whole Artcam thing ,but am happy to say it geting easier after every project. Anywho, I just picked up a decent job cutting a bunch of flat fence pickets for a Victorian B&B. Just 2D stuff. I could probley draw it in the software and get it after a little time and trial but I might as well make this a learning experiance while i'm at it. Does anyone know of a tutorial vidieo that shows me how to take a picture and import it and trace it with the drawing tools in Artcam so I can speed up the process. I'm kind of on a deadline/time line and would love to learn how to become more efficent on the design side of Artcam. Any insight or advice will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.just

Kurt,

Best place for ArtCAM questions is the ArtCAM forum.

But to answer the question, you can open just about any picture format with ArtCAM and use the vector tools to trace over the bitmap image.
