I tried converting the text into a path (although I may have done this wrong.) and when trying to save as a DFX I get a runtime error (yeah, I'm running windoze, it's work, I get no choice) in the inkscape.exe file which then crashes the program and creates a corrupted DFX file that neither Inkscape or AutoCAD can open. When I load the resulting DFX into AutoCAD, I just get a blank screen. The Problem: I tried using a text box to make letters, and then Save As: to save it in DFX format. SVG is a markup language, scalable vector graphics, created by World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Anyway, a friend recommended Inkscape to me. Best way to convert your PNG to SVG file in seconds. Instantly Use a software like Inkscape to create or edit vector graphics on. Photoshop can export a SVG like Scott mentioned. I've been told that Illustrator can do this, but I'm not going to shell out $600 for a program I'm going to use once a month if that. To convert an image to text using the above tool, follow the steps below. psd and go to the paths tab, there right click on any path and there is an export option. I am trying to convert text (specific fonts) into CAD format shapes I can use to create CNC toolpaths. My main knowledge base lies in AutoCAD and Photoshop, so vector graphics are a little new to me.
