    Want to outline picture for Sign

    Hey guys. i have a picture of a dog that i would like to outline and engrave onto a sign for my boss man, who just remodeled his home. I guess i need to somehow trace the image. I have software that will give me a vector image trace, but it saves it in a proprietary format. so.. does anyone have a procedure for making it happen? never done it before. i know how to use mastercam, but this is throwing me for a loop

    Post the image maybe I can help.

    Make sure it's a larger clean image, bitmap or png is better than jpeg.
