I don't do this very often but was trying to import and convert a BMP
scan of an old paper print (30 years) using version 1.1

It did it and gave me a DXF which I opened in ACAD lt

But that is a huge drawing showing 100's of ft by 100's of feet

when I am trying to copy it from a 3" =1 ft drawing.

No idea how to handle scale. can't get a full window, tried scaling
and that reduces but won't resize the paper or move it.

At a total loss <BG>

TIA

WinTopo Freeware outputs the drawing in negative Y-axis coordinates. This is because of the convention of raster images having the TOP left corner as coodinate...
