Isn't technology wonderful? ;)

My buddy sent me his legal Terf CD - was planning to start importing the VV into autocad...

Then the swearing started :roll: Hand drawn templates on hand drawn graphs, scanned in the 80s at looks like 16dpi on what appears to be a scanner that had some feed issues... :computer:

Been playing with inkscape - trying to even out the grid & lighten it, take away the fuzzy edges of the actual templates - and get a vectored line over it.... Needless to say, 3 days in I'm still on the first page of templates with no end in sight...

Is there an easy way to do this I'm missing?

Thanks in advance!
