4.7 Logo in CAD

In this project, we make a CAD version of your logo.

Prerequisite

We will provide a special module on the use of GardenCAD to tracing over the hand drawn logo that you prepared earlier. We may also introduce you to the science of raster (image) editing.

The project:

The first step is to scan your hand drawn logo. You would have done that earleir and sent it to us for comment. Just make sure that you know where in your computer filing system you stored the image. It needs to be in .jpg file format. The image below shows an example of a hand drwan logo.

Now start GardenCAD, create a new layer, use Draw>Insert and place the scanned image into the drawing editor. Trace over the top of the logo using simple primitive elements such as lines, arcs etc. try and resist the temptation to use more complex elements such as polylines and splines.

You will delete the scanned imge when you are finished, leaving a vector version of your logo. The figure below shows the nearly complete CAD logo.

If you have enough confidence in your GardenCAD skills, you can of course create a logo directly in CAD. 

Submission

Sent your CAD drawing of your logo to info@gardencad.net for comment.

To Come: may use module from CAD 1
