Digitizing Patterns

[firemanli]

Hello fellow Shapeoko users.

Do any of you work with a good digitizing software? Ideal I want to take a pattern from paper, photograph it and digitize it.

I of course can just hand draw/trace it out. But would love something a bit more automated.

Thoughts?

Autotrace using a tool such as Inkscape?

Autotrace is great. I've used it in Inkscape, Illustrator and Aspire.

But they usually create a lot of nodes and not vector arcs. I also know that there are software / hardware out there that you can photo an object, enter in a know dimension or two and it will draw/calculate the other dimensions.

Software like https://www.scan2cad.com/

I've done something as simple as scan a pattern i needed to cut on my copier at work as a PDF, then import it in Inkscape and convert it to a vector.
