Use IMAGEATTACH to bring the image into LT then trace over it. Resize as required. When you are satisfied create a block. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

I guess I'm not good at doing curves. Would I use ARC? How does ARC work? Or should I use a different tool? I did the IMAGEMATCH. Thank-you for the help. Darby

Yes, you could use the Circle or the Arc command. Or...you could trace over the linework using a single continuous polyline then invoke the PEDIT command and either Fit curve or Spline. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured.

This took less than three minutes to do using the ImageAttach, Polyline, Fillet, Offset, Trim, Mirror and Rectangle commands. Initial size: .45x1.36. Now all one would have to do is scale it up to whatever size is required. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.
