Tracing around a company Logo
Tracing around a company Logo
(OP)
My company logo uses a specific text font for its logo. Unfortunately not all people posses this logo on their PC's. Therefore when certain people open up a drawing the company logo is incorrect or not shown at all. The only way around this is to actually draw the logo.
My question: Is there anyway to trace around the text font logo so then I can infill the lines to create it in drawing format?
Anyone’s earliest response would be greatly appreciated.

Danjo

I am trying to use the 'bpoly' command but I am having trouble understanding what it means when it asks me to 'select internal point' ?

if inside => then make sure they have that font in their C:\program files\autocad(version)\fonts folder
if outside => then "e-transmit" your drawing so autocad can find those special fonts to include in the transmittal.
hope this helps

RE: Tracing around a company Logo
You are right, but I think a block or an image (not editing in LT?) is better, because if You use a font, everyone can edit the logo accidentally...

Good Luck
RE: Tracing around a company Logo
You can convert the characters in the logo to a block and use the block to create a replacement for your logo.
Use WMFOUT to select and export the required text.
Use WMFIN to insert the resulting block/drawing back to your logo. The block will contain the text you exported with each character formed with one or more 2d polylines. The block characters will not be filled and the block will require scaling to match the logo size.
Explode the block and use Bhatch, Solid fill, to hatch each character

The DXBOUT needs to be a PRINTER.
Go to "ADD-A-PLOTTER WIZARD"
On my PC, it's ...
Go to C:\Acad2000\Plotters
Double click on "ADD-A-PLOTTER WIZARD"
NEXT
(select) MY COMPUTER
NEXT
(left side : select) AutoCAD DXB File
NEXT
NEXT
NEXT
(Give it a name "PLOT TO DXB FILE")
NEXT
FINISH
Hope that helps someone.
