Mylar Prints
(OP)
I am looking for a digitzier that can input the data from classic Mylars into CAD type file. Are there any people stuck with 1 to 1 huge prints of J & K size and using caliper and old fashion methods or is it just me.

Also if your company can't afford a expensive scanner take the drawings down to Kinkos and have them scan it for you.

Last time I went to Kinko's to check prices on anything large format, I sort of arrived at the conclusion that if you couldn't afford to buy/lease equipment, then you probably also couldn't afford too many jobs through Kinko's either.
Large format printing and scanning is charged by the square foot. I don't want to quote prices, or misrepresent Kinko's in any way - so you'd better call them. But be prepared for a shock...

Seems like many times it's easier o create the model and generate a good drawing then to scan and manipulate the drawings.
You get the added benefit of having a 3D model where you had only paper.

The problem is when you deal with lofted parts, then it's best to do a point cloud on the model :)
Its all a question of money and importance of the model.
