Thanks for the info Martin!

Can you tell me if Inkscape can go from a JPG to an STL or STEP file?

Thanks again for your help! Vince www.imdb.com

Dear Vince,

This is the Inkscape website administrator. I help people with website problems.

For Inkscape help you need to look at the forums at https://inkscape.org/forums/ or the chat room at https://chat.inkscape.org/

Though a word of caution; It's important that you don't attempt to bully anyone in the community to get them to help you. Issuing an ultimatum to volunteers is considered a breach of the code of conduct.

Good luck with your Florida Film project.

Greetings

I do much volunteer designing and fabricating. I am trying to work on a proposed project for Florida Film. I have Autodesk Inventor 2024 Pro (I've been a CAD designer for 25+ years). I imported a high end JPG into Inkscape and converted it to DXF. I've spent at least 6 hours trying various ways to bring it into Inventor and I can't. I went to the Inventor Forum and have been working with experts and they can't figure this out. I try to send them the Inkscape DXF and they do not see any data. I will abandon this project unless I can get help from you.

Thanks Vince Montefusco www.imdb.com _______________________________________________ Webmaster mailing list -- webmaster@lists.inkscape.org To unsubscribe send an email to webmaster-leave@lists.inkscape.org

I am familiar with STL and STEP as I use them all of the time. I am NOT familiar with images (JPG, etc.) and converting them. I have several high end CNC programs for waterjet, plasma cutters, HAAS 6 axis and routers I use regularly. For this project, and thanks to all, I am creating the words of the logo (Century Gothic Medium) and tracing the image in Inventor 2024. I thought it would be tough, but the logo is high quality and zooming in is key! Of course, converting the logo to STL or STEP would be the best option, but tracing the image is working out for me with many tangents!

Thanks again Vince

Dear Vince,

I don't know what an STL or STEP file is. Jpeg is often done via the trace bitmap though.
