    Raster to Vector problems

    I have a scanned image that I simply can not get to convert to a vector image. It is a simple gray scale line drawing. The actual image is 8 megs and is clearer than some I have had no problem in converting but I have tried every software package I know and have had no success.

    Any help would be appreciated. I could send a larger file to anyone who thinks they can convert this. I need the vector to cut some stained glass.

    I just tried it and after I selected sketch as the conversion method it looked pretty good. When I saved it as a DXF though all of the nurbs where found to be invalid by Rhino. With the other conversion methods some of the nurbs where OK but not enough to be of any use. Any other procedure?

    Thanks
