If you have autocad, then all you need to do is 1) convert the scanned image to bmp 2) in autocad select insert from the menu bar 3) then select ole object 4) select create from file then browse to the image file. 5) open image file 6) trace over image file with a polyline and then save your work as either dwg or dxf.
