Default Why does it do a thinning process?

I downloaded Wintopo to convert my scanned plans from tif to dfx. It worked really good but during the process it does a thinning of all the lines. Now the lines are very thin and jagged and not complete. I have read you have to do a clean up of the images afterwards. I am trying to learn TurboCad in the process. After looking at the original scanned tif images up close i see the lines are also all broken and not clean drawn lines. Should i clean up the image before converting them or fix the ones already converted. At this point in time i am not interested using a cnc machine but want to be able to manipulate the drawings in TurboCad and print them out on my printer. Will the thinned lines be too thin for good printing?
