Inkscape and...Torchmate?

[ben de lappe]

Hello everyone! Been working with cad a while now, very old school and those familiar with me will know scan/trace isn't my style, I'm a node by node guy, but I wanted to mention a way I have used Inkscape to scan simple images of good resolution in order to pull into Torchmate cad and produce a quality .dxf without the broken lines and accompanying nightmare. I see where a lot of people report issues with Inkscape generating a nice clean .dxf, my way around this is after I perform the scan I "save as" .eps (encapsulated post script) and pull into Torchmate cad (or possibly other cad programs?), open the .eps using the .pdf filter and bam...nice clean file. As stated, old school here...just my way to do something certainly doesn't mean it's the best nor fastest just never seen this method mentioned previously.
Also unsure whether to post in TM or Inkscape forum, so General it is

Have a great one guys!
