Drafty will only import .PDFs. 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.<div><br></div><div>Anyway, does anyone have a good way to get a clean, editable drawing from a scan of a hard-copy drawing?</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Randy Storms</div><div><a href="mailto:randy.storms@mountbakertheatre.com">randy.storms@mountbakertheatre.com</a></div>
