For example,  you publish  an AC drawing of an

aircraft component that

has engineered safety margins. Anyone who has auto

cad can modify the

drawing without your approval.   They could even

distribute the modified

drawing as if it was your original.  If you had

published the drawing as

a PDF all they could do is look at it.   --- Jerry

That would be easy to change. There are programs that

scan in

captured bit maps and convert them to ACAD dwg files.

Yep!.........They are called "Raster to Vector
Interpreters/Convertors".
I just bought a pretty good one from England
called "Scan2Cad".
