Spent some time with Inkscan and the trace tool. Getting a .dxf file is no problem. I was trying to trace a bitmap image I found on line without success . Next I tried to develop the text from scratch, bending text and such. Looks like the font is \"Century\" but when I downloaded the 64 bit version to a faster machine that font was gone. Anyway, lots of time invested, the learning curve is so steep on Inkscape. Most likely I will ask my nephew to develop the line art graphic for me. So I\'m off that project for now. Started to work on the carriage wheels today. I\'m better at cutting metal and wood than I am with a mouse and computer. Thanks for the interest.
