CONVERT TIF TO CGM
CONVERT TIF TO CGM
(OP)
Is it possible to convert a TIF file to a CGM file and then import that into unigraphics to enable usable data.
Been given a tif file of a drawing and told its the only data available, not enough info to model so going back to old method of scaling the drawing to full size and measuring.
Using NX6
Any advice much appreciated.

If you are intent on using a rasterised tif then Photoshop, Corel or similar may support the output, but all you'll get are millions of indistinct little lines that you still need to sketch over to resolve the image to the curves that you'll need to model to. You will also find that no matter how you proceed you will need to scale your data to get it dimensionally accurate.
The thought that you can virtually see what you need as described by outlines within any image format produces a tantalising mirage effect which unfortunately the computer doesn't share any real appreciation of. It's frustrating unless you're used to it, but in general it is easier by far to sketch over the image itself.
