copy the image make it as dark as possible , convert to black white, or 8 bit gray then trace it, delete middle bits. is one way not necessarily the best.

As Chris says…
Bitmaps> convert the png to bitmap
Bitmaps> Mode > black and white In dialog box select line art and adjust image until mostly black.
Trace bitmap > line art > ok.
Select object and break apart or remove white areas/ nodes, add outline and remove fill. You may want to bring in the outline in a mm or two to allow for edges.

simply trace as outline low quality
move to one side, object/shaping/boundary
and there is your outline -
Thanks guys , that worked no problem but i now have a new problem :awkward: the outline isnt recognising in versaworks any ideas ?
cheers
