Did you try a drafting table, parallel and a mechanical pencil?

When I scan my hard copy, I can save it as a .PDF, but I cannot then make changes (cropping, removing unwanted dimensions, etc.)   If I save it as a .jpg instead I can bring it into MSPaint or something, but the quality is very poor.  I tried saving it as a bitmap and then "tracing bitmap" in Vectorworks, but that did not really work.  I tried placing it as a layer in Vectorworks and then manually re-drawing on top in a different layer, but it was A) awkward and B) every time I would adjust the view (zooming in, for example) one layer would zoom and the other would not.
