Logo Creation: GIF --> 3D Solid
Logo Creation: GIF --> 3D Solid
(OP)
Hi all,
First time thread user(go easy on me!). Does anyone know how to take a logo in a GIF or JPEG format and bring it into I-DEAS as a solid model? Or at least into master drafting?
We have castings and machined drawings that need specific logos on them. Unless I sit at the tube and draw them based on physical pictures, I have no idea how to accomplish this. There has got to be an easier way!! Using: I-DEAS 10NX m1, HP UNIX
Thank you very much,
RR

Ideal would be Vector -> IGES and into Master Modeller.
Not so Ideal would be Vector -> DWG/DXF -> Master Drafting -> IGES -> Master Modeller.
Once in Master Modeller then create a section of it (hopefully system toerances have kept curve ends within 0.01mm) and use it in an extrude operation.
If you don't currently have the logo in a Vector format then a third party application such as IMG2CAD may help, or if you're proficient with PhotoShop then that's as good as any.
