ok,

 

open your tiff in a paint program, corel paint works really well.

 

Save it as a DWG

 

Open this in corel draw, and save to a DXF.

 

HTH.

Well for starters Rob I created the folder for you under the other Dir for you to put your pictures and you went and put the remanders in another folder.

 

But all is good now under drawing folder there is a NEW folder called Robs files and it has all the Jpgs and the converted file. now these hand drawing suck as they are awful light. but you have some thing to work with now.

 

Have a great day.

Jay,

The files were already in the Drawing Folder from yesterday. That's why I didn't want to upload them again. I haven't downloaded them yet. As soon as I get to the shop I will download them. When I get them I will post here so you can delete the folder. I need to be able to convert scans to MC drawings quite often. What software should I get to do the convert myself.

Thanks Jay for the HELP!!!!!!
