Why not insert>raster image and trace over the image (separate layer)freeze the image layer this is what I do.

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

I use CAD-KAS PDF 2 DXF 2.0 from time to time to cut out some of my depron foamies. Works pretty well for that but have never really used it on anything critical. As others have said, there is still a little cleanup work to be done.
