I am trying to use this logo I created for a wood sign, I want to engrave the text and the images, can't figure out how to do it. Any help to successfully create this as an engraving would be greatly appreciated. I have watch every video I am able to find and none of the processes seem to work

You either have to trace the image by hand with lines and splines or you can try using a program called Inkscape which can create an SVG file which you can use in Fusion to cut a surface. Beware though the SVG from Inkscape might not be perfect and it might need work to make a closed sketch.

You start here with a program like this (this is just one of the many free online converters)  https://www.online-convert.com/

 

Then once you have a vector file you will be able to get toolpaths you would convert it to .svg then use the insert menu to insert .svg.

 

You also can use programs like Inkscape to do the conversion to vectors (the term to use when searching google).
