does pro/e have a trace feature where i can import a jpeg and trave the font/profile? for example, i used to run a OMAX waterjet as a part time thing and OMAX has a trace functionality which allows u to import a jpeg tiff bitmap etc and it'll trace the file. granted, it'll also trace allot of stuff u dont need but nothing a little cleaning up wont fix. then that file can be saved as a dxf and the waterjet would cut off that dxf file after proper scaling and what not. thanks guys Carlos Diaz
