| The best way is to redraw them in your CAD program of choice. There are plenty of threads here about raster to vector conversion, and the bottom line is, there really is no good way to do it.

| Ditto to "ditto"..... And even with Ras to Vec software, more than likely you'll be having to clean up the image and/or translation anyway (depending on software and how tight the res is on the initial blueprint).

| You could always learn to write g-code programs. For most types of work it's not too hard. http://www.cnczone.com.com http://www.cncci.com
