Does anyone have a dxf of the Iowa Hawkeye logo? Looked all over and have had no such luck. As long as we are on the subject, what is the best way to convert a jpeg or bmp to a dxf? I have tried a few different free softwares but not really happy with the results. Thanks Josh

I just did this in partworks, using your image.

Is that what you are looking for?

www.inkscape.org (http://www.inkscape.org) for something like this it would work great and its free. Here is the dxf of this logo done in inkscape. email me if you want the dxf as i don't think i can post it here being a dxf.

you can post dxf files but the extension is renamed to UNK not a big deal as you can change it back as you save it or after..

Why would you want a DXF of a mascot that will lose to Iowa State in a few weeks ?

Yes, This is exactly what I was needing! I have tried Inkscape but looks like I need to go through the tutorials and work with it a little more. I will have to see if I can do Herky the Hawkeye myself. Thanks to all for the help! Josh

It looks like Partworks does a good job, just gave it a try on Herky. I tried to post the dxf but it is too large. Mitch what is the trick? Thanks, Josh

When you first convert the bitmap into vectors in partwork, it gives you a good amount of NODES with small line sigment..You can then convert it into splines with minimum number of nodes and it smoothen the curve as it is drawn by hand,,,

Thanks to all for the help and advice! It's been a while since I have had a chance to get back to the forum. Jay, it looks like that website could come in really handy. Does anyone know the guildelines to avoid copyright/trademark legal issues when deal with making and selling products using something like this? Thanks Josh
