Correct. GIF, JPEG, BMP are not vector-based graphics. It's just an array of
bits that indicate color, hue, etc. where AutoCad, Illustrator, SVG, etc.
vector-based. Instead of bits, there are formulas that describe lines, shapes,
etc. That's why you can easily blow up a vector-based graphic without it
getting all jaggy on ya'

Good Morning!



Once again, I call upon the wisdom of this wonderful group. :-)



My boss is asking to convert a GIF file to an AUTOCAD file. Does anyone
know how to do this? Or have a program that is able to do this and is
willing to help me with one file?



Thank you,

Patrick,



I cheated. I brought the gif into autocad and traced the lines then deleted
the gif. For what I needed this was good enough. I don't believe there is
a way to go from a gif to autocad. I could only find from autocad to gif.
