Importing into CAD
Importing into CAD
(OP)
I need to import a vicinity map and 200 scale topo into my CAD drawing. I currently have hard copies. What is the best way? I can scan them as a JPG file, but the files are large resulting in my CAD daring being large. I assume I can save the JPG as an ADOBE (will that me it smaller) and then paste the portiong I need into my drawing? I have a scanner but dont have ADOBE writer. Are there other options?
Thank you
Thank you

The office that I am working in is in the process of converting fairly large areas of telephone company maps from paper to Cad. What we have done is have the drawings scanned as TIF files and use the IMAGE command to attach them. After we have finished tracing off what we need, we simply detach the TIF's. I just checked a couple of the TIF files and found one to be 96 KB while the other was 174 KB. These are not very large to attach, although I wouldn't attach a large number of them. Maybe this method will help you.
