    What program do I need to trace?

    What program will let me open a jpg or related file and click by click hand trace a picture, to be then saved as a wmf or dxf?

    I use www.wintopo.com , it's free.

    Wintopo is what I used to create all the free DXF (150) files on my blog (link is below in sig.).


    .
    Free DXF - vectorink.com

    Although I already have CorelDraw, I think I'll give that Wintopo program a spin just because I love using free software. Thanks for sharing both the link and your work Switcher!
