Hey,
 
Is there anyone that has a A DWG or DXF of the UL recognized compoment mark for the US and Canada. I can only find the photo ready files and these will not work. We have a laser and want to engrave the out line of the mark. If anyone can help please reply.
 
Best regards

How tough can it be to draw or trace over an image?

I made this.

The previous image was taken from a drawing created by tracing over another image of the UL trademark logo.  I used a combination of polylines and arcs then filled the outlines with a solid hatch.  Really didn't take all that much time to do.

John,
 
When you put UL markings on your product it has to be to UL specs per their dimensions and font.
 
I did half of what you did by going to UL web and getting their recognized components mark, not the UL mark.
 
I drew the RU to UL spec per their photo ready sheet and blow up the C and US font and using a pair of caliper re-drew the font in CAD, resized it and copied it the the RU drawing in location per the UL spec and finished.
 
Took about 2 hours
 
PS: I called UL to see if they had CAD date in DWG or DXF so i would not have to draw it. They did not know what DWG or DXF was. This was the marking engineer. If you ever worked to get UL approval on anything you will know what i am talking about. Over educated and UNDER QUALIFIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
95% of the people out there could not do my job in the tooling and engineering field. I WANT HIS JOB.

I'm betting that even the marking engineer you spoke too would be hard pressed to tell if the one I drew was bogus or not.  Everyone else wouldn't give the logo two glances before moving on to something else.I was demonstrating a technique that's all.  It was not meant to be an exact duplicate.  Had I wanted it to be so I would have put in more than the 15 minutes it took to knock that one out.
