    It's good, I like it!

    As for bitmap to structured drawing I've found that most "trace" routines give less than perfect results unless the resolution is increased massively and then processed, then manually edited, and you still get over-complicated geometry. I suspect it's far better to use a CAD package which allows you to have the processed image in the background and construct your own geometry - a capability which came into consideration when adding Bob Art in my initial BobCadCam order,

    ...and with Bezier curves so you can tweak points and directions, you can do reasonably well. I must take a look at some software my wife uses to convert bitmap drawings into vectors which then get digitised for a computer sewing machine. It seems to do better than things like Adobe Illustrator.
