I need some help. I need to try to convert this to a dxf. The problem is that it is so small that it is pixilated and looks like **** and I have looked thru 10 pages of google searches of dxf's of gates and other terms searches to find something similar but have found nothing suitable.

Firstly, this one can be substituted for something similar if you have it in a dxf format, so if anyone has something similar and can send me i'd appreciate it.
This was taken from a pdf they sent me and was a bitmap

Hey Adrian, that looks much better then what i got in inkscape. What did you use to convert it? thanks

I use a program called Vector Magic. I've got the desktop version which is expensive but I do a huge amount of bitmap to vector conversions so it's paid for itself many times over.

This Site has tons of DXF files for download.

Not sure why you need a "clean" dxf of this when it is really quite easy to draw in any of the common programs used here from Partworks to Artcam (as well as Autocad and illustrator type programs) the exact size and dimensions you need.

That was my thinking as well.

Well i didn't want to spend a long time drawing by hand just one element for a sign that basically was a freebie, but Adrian was able to trace it and got far better results then I so i will probably be using his version.

Jimmy, i had already gone to that link but all the spokes on the gates were too skinny but thanks anyway.:D
