1. Scale to desired size. Trace. Export from vector to .dxf

Same concept/result as what I did for him but with AI and PS and no autocad.

His original AI file was not outlined fills. It was stroked overlapping paths hence his problem with using it.

New file.


Original AI file with preview turned off showing the vector.
