I have been using VP Studio for this kind of work. It is supposadly the best on the market - I am not sure as it is the only one I have used so I have nothing to compare to. It is quite pricy as far as the licence goes. Full version cost around $AUS8,000 per licence. There are other veriations that you can get to do individual tasks like VP RastorEdit which only alows editing of the restor no vector conversion. The convertion process differs from drawing to drawing dpending on quality of existing originals or the scanned images that you may have used. I found the some convertions could take anywhere beteeen 3 to 8 hours. We also used the same software for editing the images and using them as overlays in Autocad and adding autocad enties. Similar to using Xrefs. There website for further info is www.softelec.com.
Another package I have heard of is CADOVerlay.

There doesn't seem to be any "Free" related software at the AutoDesk site link you gave. Are you refering to the "Trial Software" CD?

We did not persue conversion as the quality of the scanned images we were using was poor and it's difficult to make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
A demo of Scan2CAD can be downloaded from www.softcover.com
