insert a technical design like jpg or pdf and redesign it

[maurizio1975]

Hello guys I'm a novice but I have a task to do and I don't know where to start because with graphics programs are a landslide.
my purpose is to bring this jpg or png image to any software easy to use and redesign the content by giving it specific measures to then print on scale 1:1...I attach image hope that someone of you can give me a tip....don't use any software I accept all the tips

insert it as image and recalc it or, according to the precision and function required, normally draws the quotated parts, almost all, and the unquoted rays and circles make them to the eye
for the software there are many free; do a search in the forum.
for a period I used draft which is similar to autocad.

but do I have to create levels to do that?

It depends on how you plan...
I like to have a layer for geometry, one for axes, one for odds, one for notes, one for carts... .
but it is a matter of tastes or corporate rules, if there are

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

if you can't draw with a cad think of the levels (which then what do you mean by this terms?), it's less premature.
I suggest you find a couple of free cads (research forums) and start taking your hand, usually have tutorials explaining basic commands. Then you can ask yourself questions like: as I insert an image, use levels, use polylinee or lines I do this or that... and so on

I tried with rhino putting the image as a background and redesigning it with lines etc., but I can't give it real measurements and make the scale

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

even rhino?

But you have to do a three-dimensional?

 

[maurizio1975]

no absolutely but I had found this tutorial that was simple to me to a certain point...I'm sorry but I know a landslide..I just need to redesign with the real measures that I want to have and then print in scale 1:1.for you is a trivial thing,instead for me is becoming a dilemma

You've been using a cad is that you're exaggerated for the work you have to do and your knowledge. the equivalent of learning to ride a bike starting from the bike. the work you have to do is not complex, but you have to accept the fact that you have to invest some time to understand at least the basic commands of the program you go to use without focusing on the execution of the job
I give you what you need to do:
install a cad 2d free like draftsight or anything you can read qui e quiset the work and learn the basic commands and that can be useful to you (in your case I would say:line, copy, offset, radius, wheel, altitude)
do a little practice with simple figures
Start working.

then there will be the preparation of the press, but better take one step at a time

Alternatively, you could import the pdf into inkscape and then save it directly in dxf format....that you manage directly in autocad...
I do not know if this right can be useful to you. At the most, you could ask for conversion to someone more experienced. . .

 

[d80]

there are online programs that directly convert pdf files, jpg, png etc to dxf or dwg, if you do a network search you find them

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

can also do it, but the problem remains.
if you do not know how to use a cad to pull two lines you must trust that conversion is perfect (practically never) in terms of design scale, orthogonality of lines, precision of units and so on. and how do you do these checks if you can't use software? if you have to send the drawing to a lamierist who gets the development or sends the machine directly the dwg or a part that has the lines (or spline or polyline according to the type of conversion) storte who pays after the piece to be thrown?
this just to say that no online program or not is the panacea to the inability of the user. and then I hope that in 10 months (in which he did not give signs of life) that design did at least with pencil and ruler.
