I don't think you can get where you need to be from photos. DXF is vector
based, and photos are raster, or like raster. I usually trace over photos
in AutoCAD for things like that, then scale to match a real world
dimension
on the part. That's a very innacurate way to work though. You really
need
the part in front of you where you can measure it and draw it accurately.
Have fun,
