Paul,
There may be a better way but this worked for me.
Use a font creator program (free download www.high-logic.com) and
import the image as a letter of the alphabet (pick a font you never use).
I used a CAM package which allows text to be written in any font windows
uses. When you type the letter of the font you replaced with the image,
you get the image. Chain the image like you would the lines and arcs of a
tool path. Export as an .igs.
