    Vectoring software?

    Hi. I am looking for an easy vectoring software to get a pdf or jpg into a cad drawing.
    Thanks.

    Or could anyone who owns a vectoring program quickly convert it to cad once the drawing is finished?
    Thanks.

    Your so helpful Jeff. Lol funny. On another forum there's a jeff that's really helpful to. I won't have the drawing for about 2 days unfortunately. I was hoping to find a free or very cheap program to do it myself because I'm planning on a few more parts and don't want to be bothering people every time.
    Thanks.

    Post Inkscape

    Motas,

    Take a look at Inkscape.

    Inkscape. Draw Freely.

    It is free, I have attached the DXF plugin files for it.
