17159 2001-08-18 07:01:00 How do I scan grids etc & are still able edit them, use them Guest (0)
17160 2001-08-18 07:12:00 So you want to scan in the image of a grid, then be able to edit it in a drawing program as lines etc. (I think)

If that is what you need, unfortunatly you can't easily as the scanner just produces images.

Prehaps you could can in the grid, place the image in a drawing programme and trace over it with lines, then remove the image.

17161 2001-08-18 11:24:00 If you want to do as bm says, then you can convert a raster scan to vector. There are shareware programs available and some free DOS ones. In vector form as say a dfx file they can then be edited with a drawing program like AutoCad.
I use this method to convert PCB layouts in magazines to a vector plottable form. Sometimes a bit of editing is required to correct poor scanning or vector conversion.
