Which one actually made the DXF, Photoshop or Illustrator?

Illustrator does Photoshop does with a plugin I think....

Chris,

I use photoshop to bring up the contrast and lightly touch up any areas (the shine on your image) that would cause problems tracing.
I then use Illustrator for converting it to vector.
Though similar to the trace feature in Corel, Illustrator allows quite a bit more fine tuning of the trace resulting in more precise and/or cleaner trace.

It is also pretty much the standard in the graphic design industry.

I saved the file as DFX in Illustrator.
Photoshop was used just to take the glare off of the photo

I must be dumber than I thought. I saved the file to a jump drive and took it to the computer that has bob cad I can not get it to open I don't know if it is just me or what. I am sorry guys I thought I knew what I was doing. Any suggestions?

Right click the link, Save target as. Make sure it is saving as a DXF file. What version of BC are you using?

I would like to thank everyone who helped me get started. Kevin and sbc cycle I would have been lost without you. I got it loaded into bobcad and sized. I was going to cut it and post pics but I found out I am out of .007 endmills. If I can borrow one from another guy I should post pics by tomorrow evening.
Thanks,
Chris
