[Hunters 4x4]

I recently got a Arclight table and we are building brackets and tabs for off-road vehicles. The problem we are running into is our logo and how we can cut it out at this point I've spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure out how to make the logo so I can cut it into some of our parts and I am just frustrated. We own the rights to this logo and I would love if someone would be willing to show me how to convert it into a cut able file. I understand it needs to be a dxf but it does not convert well and just makes an unreadable mess on the table.

You say you've spent a considerable amount of time trying to make the logo. Do you mean doing a basic vector trace, or am I on the wrong page. As far as cutting the logo into some of your parts, "HUNTERS 4X4" is just about ready to go as an internal cut, so I'm not understanding what the problem is. Perhaps show what you've already tried so someone can advise.

The logo you've shown is about as simple as it gets, and yet despite its low resolution I got a reasonable auto-trace (does your software have auto-trace).

So what vector drawing software are you using to do that. No one can help without even knowing what you are using to trace your image.

What instructional materials have you viewed on the subject - written, Youtube, etc.

If you are really in a bind and need something drawing fast, contact Ben de Lappe on this forum. He does conversions as his livelihood and has reasonable rates:

Is this what you need?

I'm using qcad and the auto trace is not working it comes out all different lines and points it wants to cut. I've watched youtube and some of the guys in the shop went to arc lights class when they picked it up. We are definitely still learning we have the brackets down but getting lettering to work is the problem.

YES! That isn't cuttable as it is but that is what I needed to modify it! Thank you so much!
