    Default Is it possible to convert this to vector?

    Is there anyway to get that traced and into a vector drawing? I need to take this and replicate it to match the rest of the furniture.

    I tried in Adobe Illustrator and it didn't work so well for me.

    A vector carving of this would only give the major outlines. I would scan it and carve it as a raster carve and clean up the lines with a rotary tool.

    The way I would do it is to make it a pattern by importing it as a image. Then put it on a 14 inch board and using the tracing tools or Line Tools trace over the picture pattern. You use the line and curve line and connect line to do it. That will give you the Vector Cuts or lines. BUT it looks more like a Raster Cut with rolled over top edges.

    If I guess correct one of the many pattern makers will have a pattern or mpc posted within the hour.

    The drawing would need to be re-traced, I cleaned the background, maybe you could use this MPC.

    Thanks! I haven't had a chance to try it yet as I'm still waiting on my replacement bearings to arrive.
