  Open a sketch on the plane, insert "Sketch picture". Then you must scale your pictrure and add new picture on the another plane.
  If you have this, Now you have to use a line or spline to trace the outline. This is the same method used to create the car body.

     Hi J.J.
     It is very interesting ☺☺. I wish you able to improve this for perfect 3D. Is this system able to convert to exact dimensions?. Why it is not use images of isometric views taken by given exact distance from object. I'm relay happy about this new way.

  Can a Cad file be created from a photo like this? The PTO Side (4) Bolt Holes are 8mm.

     Yes, you need to assume the dimensions since you don't have the actual dimensions.

  I think, you can't "convert" direct to have fully "converted" image. You can use your picture as the base to modeling it what Lukasz Siwiec said. J.J. has half - method.

  In CATIA V5, you can not convert directly like SolidWorks.
