We do not have any other reports of an image actually making the machine reboot. We would be very pleased Thu, 22 Oct 2009 23:49:03 GMT coosbaylumberco http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wintopo/message/505 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wintopo/message/505 I seem to be getting an error message of "Failed to Open Document" quite often now on a couple of the images out of 1/2 dozen recently done. Then within a Wed, 21 Oct 2009 00:51:53 GMT coosbaylumberco http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wintopo/message/504 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wintopo/message/504 I am finding out what Mike mentioned. I hear so often that the scanning process does not alter things. But they are not same N-S or E-W when finished.

Some raster files contain scaling information which WinTopo can Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:04:05 GMT Mike Hamer http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wintopo/message/502 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wintopo/message/502 Indeed, every scan is diff. I have the same dilemma with over 500 scanned hand drawings I hoped to slam into CAD and simply re dimension. Not so simple after Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:31:59 GMT Mike Hamer http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wintopo/message/501 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wintopo/message/501 Wm. First you need to know (1) good dim. You then need to know what that dim is scaled up to. 1) Then you enter "scale"(sc), select objects, 2) Select base Sat, 17 Oct 2009 23:32:55 GMT coosbaylumberco http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wintopo/message/500 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wintopo/message/500 I take my converted Images of plans then use the DXF file to create an autocad file and plan. Do this in one batch maybe once per year. Am using version 1.7, Tue, 01 Sep 2009 09:04:55 GMT wintopo_pro http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wintopo/message/499 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wintopo/message/499 ... Your mileage will vary with the 'Canny' edge detector. It is intended for photographic type images where the position of the 'edges' can be somewhat Sun, 30 Aug 2009 12:12:36 GMT Greg Waggy http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wintopo/message/498 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wintopo/message/498 Thank you for your reply and did what you said and now the outline line is broken.

To get the outlines in WinTopo Freeware you need to choose the "Canny" option for Edge Detection on the "One-Touch Vectorise Options" window.

WinTopo does not care what coordinate system you are using, it is irrelevant to the conversion process. WinTopo is not involved with mapping projections.
