Paul and Bill,
the 13B dwgs. I uploaded were scanned from the pages of "Rotary
Engineering's" catalog. They were not in a CAD format. My scanner does

not

have  .dxf format as a file export option. The choices are .JPG, .BMP.

.TIFF,

.PCX. If anyone knows how to get to .DXF post the procedure and I will

try.

Thats what I guessed Ed. Thanks. There used to be a program that converted
bit mapped images such as bmp's to Auto Cad dwg files but as I recall it

was

quite expensive. Perhaps someone can search the net for a freebie.

Turbocad will do a "Trace" function on JPG or bitmap files and convert to a
cad file.  The result usually needs some cleanup but I've used it with great
success on my 20B installation plans for RV-8.  Turbocad also does very nice
3D contrary to a previous post.  Maybe the freebee download does not have
this.  6.5 pro version even does ray-trace rendering for photo realistic
results.  I don't use this feature for mechanical cad work though.
