Please recommend a raster>>vector program.

[John K.]

All,

I have immediate need of a program -- Windoze for now as I am at the office -- which will allow me to vectorize some scanned in drawings. I have Revit and Acad Lt. -- both of which have limitations with this sort of thing.

RSVP & thanks,

PS. I suppose I could set up Cygwin to run 'nix-wares though I haven't had any experience w/same.

PPS. I am aware, for the most part of the ways to trace raster images in Revit; I just think that more options for scaling and rotation are a must.

Have you tried Adobe Streamline? I have used it on a few occasions with borderline satisfactory results. I have an old version of it so I don’t know if it has improved at all.

Thanks Scott. Also got a recommendation for the following:

from Jeffrey McGrew. This one worked quite well if you're still looking. It has a one-shot raster-to-vector button which saved me a pile of time today.
