Cad file of z4m coupe

Calichase · 12-20-2015, 04:50 PM

Happy holidays all!

I am looking to start a little project and was curious if anyone had a cad file for just the basic exterior profile of the m coupe. Most likely a long shot, but it would make my life a lot easier!

Could you import this into a cad program?

I think my IT could probably do it.

You could paste it in as a picture, but since it's a .PNG file it's an image, that's all it will ever be.

if you have illustrator, it'll trace paths for you. Its in the swatches pallette, choose "tracing", it should convert the whole thing into paths. You can then import the whole thing into CAD.

So with $6,000 in software... :-) Hahaha Just kidding!

the png file remains flattened in Illustrator, which can only trace the block as a whole. unless the diagram can be found in a different format, it appears one might have to trace it in auto cad
