I doubt you will find any software, that will trace an image, without needing to do any node cleanup (free or pay software).

It really does matter how clean the image is that you start with.

As far as all the files I've been posting, I started posting them to give the new guys something to cut, & I have had a lot of folks on the net. send photos of dxf files/projects that they have cut, I'm not sure how much cleanup (If any) they did before cutting. You can also view a few finished project photos here in this thread. You can vist the fine folks at phlatboyz & see a few photos http://www.phlatboyz.com/phlatprinte...re_gallery.php ,most are at the bottom of the page (halloween), I was going to post each link (don't won't to hotlink to their images ).

Since I started working with Inkscape, I do 100% node cleanup inside of Inkscape, BTW, doing all these conversions isn't just press a button & your done, it takes a lot of work to get anything half way worth saving as a dxf. I can't imagine how much time I've invested, creating/posting dxf files for others to use.

I'm not that proficient at Inkscape so i do most of my clean up in Auto CAD. It's just easier for me. But i am learning to do it in Inkscape. Anyway thanks Switcher. You the man!!

I gotta get rid of that yahoo search bar...my "images" searches never lead me to such sites....of course after I find a half decent image, I close out explorer, and open up inkscape.(maybe that's my problem)

Well that & the 5,761 links in my Favorites folder.

Couldn't get a very good file with your pic, but how about this one?

[ronald44181000]

I hope this will do as your image will take about an hour of image manipulation to enhance.

[ronald44181000]

Nice Shelby contirbution there. I hope to see some more of your creations.

Switcher what did you use to clean up the text on the safety icon? I got the outline cleaned up and converted to a dxf with no problem, but I couldn't get the text to clean up. Guess I'm going to have to find a new stylus for my graphics tablet.

[rando]

I think he deleted it, and inserted his own...am I right Switcher?

I got the image as well, but was unhappy with it still.

Wow!!! What did I miss here?

I get double lines, a couple of circles, and not much at all really...what's the deal???

I included a screenshot .zipped file
