    Dimensioning-please help???

    Copy map from Mapquest or Yahoo.com

    In Firefox, you can add download extensions to "grab" the map images. The only issue is that the maps are divided into sectors and are not one complete image. You will have to piece them together. http://mechcad-insider.blogspot.com/ "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom"
