Hey guys, am looking for a nice clean file of a semi dump truck with nice clean vectors. I tried bitmapping a pic off what I wanted but I always need so much clean up. I guess its me. Want to make a sign for a neighbor.Are there sites that have good vectors for desktop? Thanks in advance Jerry

Files at https://vectorart.com are the cleanest as they're designed for CNC machines. If I can't find what I want there my next stop is usually https://vectorstock.com

Files from there aren't always as clean as vectorart as they're visual files rather than CNC files but a lot better starting pointing than a bitmap trace.

Other than it's just a general google image search. There are so many different sites these days. Biggest problem is avoiding the sites that are more interested in getting you to click on ads than giving you the file you're looking for!

I did a Dump Truck several years ago. I did it in Aspire, so in case you're using in VCarve, I attached the Zip file which has most of the vectors. You should be able to easily draw some that may be missing. Hope it's useful.
