Bitmap
Bitmap
(OP)
A customer whats me to have there logo machined into a part we are making for them. They can only provide me with a bitmap. I've asked and they say they don't have it as a dfx, dwg or any other drawing file. Is there any way to use the bitmap, or do I have to trace around the features by hand?
Any suggestions would be helpful. If it can't be don't easily, I'm going to let the machine shop guys worry about it.

RE: Bitmap
Sketch Picture
You can insert a picture (.bmp, .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .tif, and .wmf) on a sketch plane. Pictures can be used as an underlay for creating 2D sketches. The Sketch Picture PropertyManager controls the picture's position, size, angle, orientation, and aspect ratio setting.
The picture is inserted with its (0, 0) coordinate at the sketch origin, an initial size of 1 pixel per 1 mm, and locked aspect ratio.
The picture is embedded in the document (not linked). If you change the original image, the sketch picture does not update.
If you sketch on top of the picture, there is no snap to picture, inferencing, or autotracing capability. If the image is moved, or deleted and replaced, the sketch does not update.
If you hide the sketch, the picture is also hidden.
Pictures can be inserted into assemblies when editing a part in context, but they cannot be inserted into assembly sketches.
