OT: Technical illustrations - Outlining a line drawing

[Writer]

I should have offered more information:

I want to create an outline to the actual object similar to the "box" in this illustration: http://www.khulsey.com/3_point_perspective_fig10.jpeg

The illustration was created in SolidWorks, which I then received from the engineer in PDF format. I converted the PDF to .jpg. 

I can select the outline using the Magic Wand tool in Corel Paintshop Pro, but it doesn't give me a smooth outline to work with.
