VECTOR ART TO CAD QUICK GUIDE Record: SYS-0033 / Revision A Status: Reusable quick how-to IMAGE TO VECTOR 1. Prepare a clean PNG with strong contrast. 2. Trace or convert the black image regions to SVG. 3. Inspect closed regions, duplicate paths, and tiny islands. 4. Import the SVG into the CAD model for embossing, engraving, or cutting. RELATED MODELING NOTES Project body edges into a sketch when rebuilding references. When loop selection is limited, select an edge chain deliberately before filleting. Turn grid snap off when it interferes with fine placement. A mesh-to-STEP conversion does not automatically restore a clean parametric model.
