    Hi David,

    See my LogoMaker Skill code on the Skill forum  /forums/p/13122/20158.aspx#20158

    Ensure that you go to the final osting for the latest code and read the start of the Skill file for the extra download and installation requirements.

    Cheers, Dave

    There is a raster program in Sourcelink solution 11022718. This will translate the image into a .plt file which then can be read in using File >Import >IPF.


    In addition to the above, there are 3rd party programs available to read raster images (BMP, JPEG, etc) and convert to DXF format that can be imported into Allegro with File > Import > DXF.

    Some links to these 3rd party programs are:
