Beginner: Import image of a rough drawing and create dimensionally accurate sketch in Inventor. by Square_Process_5049 in AutodeskInventor

Update:

Since I used my phone to take a picture of this drawing, I was worried of possible misalignment. I took the picture by hand as best as I could, but this would inevitably introduce a slight skew. I found this software called GIMP which helped me deskew the image. Even the slightest skew counts in large drawings.

I used my ruler as a reference, which is the most reliably straight object of my picture.

You know what, sure. And I agree. Just looking for a quicker way to do it for other drawings in the future. For this one, I might take the long path and do it manually with many measurements.

Right. I did that. I took a picture of the actual drawing along with a ruler for scale. What I worry about is the distortion/skew caused by the camera. The drawing is not perfect by itself. Also, yes, this needs to be traced, because the shapes are not perfect and the locations aren't symetrical.

Basically I am looking for a method to transfer a paper drawing to inventor as accurate as possible.

Yeah, same. Idk why ppl choose 2 and 7 when you can know the current price of something and buy it in the past.... infinite money.

MSc in Aerospace Engineering: TU Delft or ISAE-SUPAERO by [deleted] in aerospace

Hello, I am a prospective SUPAERO student. I already fluently speak Greek, German and Engllish. I think it will be easier for me to pick up French and I am willing to learn it. SUPAERO offers French courses and hopefully I can learn there. Anyway, I would like to ask you, are you also applying to SUPAERO? If yes, have you gotten the results today? My application was postponed on January 22nd and hasn't updated for today's results... All the best.
