Since you said that you have Illustrator available. Open the SolidWorks PDF in Illustrator. Illustrator should recognize it as a vector image.
In Illustrator, select the objects you want and increase the line width to the desired thickness. Export it as JPEG and you should have what you are looking for. -----Original Message----- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Writer Sent: Wednesday, May 06, 2009 9:30 AM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: OT: Technical illustrations - Outlining a line drawing I should have offered more information: I want to create an outline to the actual object similar to the "box" in this illustration: http://www.khulsey.com/3_point_perspective_fig10.jpeg The illustration was created in SolidWorks, which I then received from the engineer in PDF format. I converted the PDF to .jpg. I can select the outline using the Magic Wand tool in Corel Paintshop Pro, but it doesn't give me a smooth outline to work with.
