Hello.  Application software that handles photos has a function to automatically obtain contour lines. Does Onshape have a function to obtain contours of photos and characters?

    I believe the answer to that question is no. But if you happen to have access to software that does have that ability (like Adobe Illustrator or the like), there's a pretty good chance you can export the vector drawing in a form that can be imported into Onshape.

    If you're looking for contour lines of a drawing, what @SethF suggested is probably your best bet. If you are trying to obtain those lines from a part in a Part Studio, someone could make a custom feature that grabs all contour lines within a Part Studio.
