Autocad file conversion
Does anyone know if I can convert a simple jpg file into a dwg or dxf file?
Background
God bless our daughters for keeping us dad's on our toes.
No.1 daughter has a series of animal outlines she'd like to have laser cut in ply. These are simple cartoon shapes, eg, kangaroo, emu etc in jpg format.
I have Autocad R14 and 2007 at my disposal. All I've managed so far is to import a jpg file into Autocad 2007 and trace around it.
When I save this file as an R14 file, the jpg image dissappears leaving me with the traced outline.
This is very tedious, it would be so much easier if I could convert the file, any clues?
I found a couple of file conversion programs on the web, but they want an arm and a leg, limbs I'm not prepared to give up.

You should be able to convert it to a vector in Adobe illustrator also.
