Draw a logo on solidworks from the logo pdf?

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hello

 

A client sent me a logo in .pdf format and asked me to make it appear positive on a SolidWorks design part.

What's the best way to do this, knowing that the logo is very complicated and tracing it from a sketch image using spline is just impossible?

 

Hoping someone can help me... Thank you in advance.

 

Adrien.

Hello

 

If it's a logo with edges, you may want to try to DXF it directly with "PDF to DXF".

If this does not work with the dxf conversion method, you can try to image the PDF and then trace it in SolidWorks.

 

I made a tutorial for that:

Hello

download the Inkscape software on 01net, free, it works very well.

Mathieu, the link is not good, it redirects to a page "Not found" instead of the tutorial.

Thank you very much  @Jose-accessa.

 

I didn't make a mistake in the link because I can access it without worry and it has already been downloaded. But I know this problem because I've already had feedback on the previous tutorials that I put online. Some days they are not accessible...

 

I can't do better but don't hesitate to visit the page again next time :-)
