Just learning how to trace in my Coreldraw and gave it a go on this one. Turned out pretty decent I think but depending on how fussy you want to be with it there may be some cleanup and/or smoothing to do.

DieselFumes - nice effort to trace that image! I went another way and used Inkscape. I will come back later and see what I can come up with using CorelDraw.

I opened your dxf to have a look.

When I tried to import the original image file at 9000 x 9000 to CorelDraw, it hung up and I had to abort. So I resized to 50% and it works ok.

What image size did you import to CorelDraw and what settings did you use for your autotrace?
Thanks,
David

My favorite thing about CorelDraw is the B-Spline tool - much easier to use than the Inkscape Bezier tool for manual tracing of complex images. Here is an example.

For creating mechanical drawings, I find both QCad and Solid Edge 2D much easier and more intuitive to use than CorelDraw.

I started with the original image size and when Corel started the trace it informed me it had to reduce the image size prior to tracing and did that automatically so I am unsure what size it chose to use. Auto trace almost always require cleanup I have found but I thought this might help to get him started.

I have never used the b-spline tool but will check it out today. Thanks David

I am using CorelDraw 2020. Maybe you are using a newer version. My version did not inform me about resizing the image. In any case, it has been my personal experience that much more clean-up is required with a CorelDraw auto trace than an Inkscape auto trace. See the example I showed above.

I have not yet tried autotrace in Inkscape, I feel so comfortable with Corel. Maybe I should give it a go because your trace does look better David.

Here is a quick example of doing and auto trace with Inkscape. Click on the link to see the screen shots.
