Make graphics inserted on the component visible in the drawing

Hello everybody,

I designed a component at Inventor and inserted a lettering in the form of an image on one side. Now I would like to create a drawing of this that also shows this lettering. However, in the drawing, the corresponding sketch is not displayed in the model tree. The drawing should not be shaded. The drawing should be a .dxf file for laser cutting and the lettering will be engraved.

Can someone help me here?

Many Thanks!

You will need to convert the image to linework. Inventor can't do it unless you want to use the image as reference and manually sketch lines over that. 

 

Inkscape has a Trace Bitmap function that works quite well.. I believe Photoshop and other graphics programs also have similar.
