HI @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

 There are numerous online apps that can convert raster to vector but there really isn't much in this image that would really come through.

I suggest attaching the image to a drawing and then simply tracing over it.

I did this to the map for you but did not add text.

This went pretty quickly taking me about 15 minutes.

Hi,

     Yes. I'm new to this forum and Autocad as well. But my current job demands me to do this conversion(JPG to Cad source file) and change the text as required. Can you please tell me the step by step procedure to do this?

Hi @Anonymous,

I suggest creating the new text objects using the Mtext command.  Please give it a try and let me know if you get stuck. I am happy to help.

Hi @rtr1811,

I made a quick video that show the process I used to trace the outlines, apply the colored hatch, create some text, and lastly make a table.

I hope this helps.
