It takes a few minutes to trace with my software. As i said there still will be some clean-up.

I've done this also, it's not as easy when you have a lot of detail to work around though.

I'm buying plans for a 40% cub and would like to scan in and cut all the pcs on the cnc at work. Is there any worry of distortion or scaling when scanning to pdf? Once I have the dxfs I would be using plain old Mill Write.

Has anyone ever scanned in the entire plan set with a large scanner plotter?

Hey Robby, I know I owe you money, maybe see ya this week

BS
