Make drawing from screenshot
Make drawing from screenshot
(OP)
I think it is possible to do what I am trying but I can't seem to find the right combination yet:
I want to make a model of an oil seal but don't have the drawing or the part. I have a screen shot of a typical cross section though. If this were pasted into a paint program and saved as a jpeg or some other format, it could be traced over in Solidworks or Autocad and scaled to the correct size. Then it could be swept to make the 3d part.
Is there a way to do this or am I dreaming?
Thanks
John Woodward

Or call the manufacture of the part and ask for a dwg or CAD part. Some companies will do this for you.

Actually I spent more time on the net searching for a part or trying to get something out of the supplier.
