Hi

I am not artistic (or lazy) I just cant get any decent looking flames drawn with a cad package.
Does any body have any flames in a dxf etc format that they
would be willing to share ?

Thanks

CAD-software isn't meant to be used for stuff like flames, that's why it is so hard to do. The easiest way would be to make flames with Photoshop or Paint Shop or a similar program, then you save the flames as a jpeg.
In your cad-program you open the jpeg-file and you can then easily draw over the outlines of those jpeg-flames.
Haven't done that yet, because I don't use flames, but that's basicly the same as I do when turning a 3-view into a dxf-plan.

Check out http://www.handisigns.com They have flames on their clip art page.

A little something to get you going

Edit and print them out on water slide material

Thanks for the input - I have started making a flame (dxf)that can be scaled or stretched , its got a long way to go !
Here is a pic of it

Looks real good! I wish I could do that in cad but I need to learn how to use the darn program. Gee that program is a monster
