Raster to vector conversions covers a lot of ground.

Do you need a CAD file or just he ablity to put an image into AutoCAD?

There is software out there to make the conversion:

I tried that; but the result was quite messy. The original image file is a bmp of a photo of the "sign" and is a bit too grainy and blurred.

I DO need a vector image to cut from.....the CAM program I use only accepts DXF files.

DrafterX is on the case.

Still playing with it. Didn't find the shortcut I was hoping for. Don't give up on me.
