Terry, yes, understood. I was just giving you an example as you asked "IS there something common I can scan for you and send you the image for testing ". So I asked 

Yes, a scale is fine if it has .010 lines, do you have something like that?

Thanks for the input, and the offer, Terry, and also the scans, Sam, but I would actually need something like a blueprint with dimensions scaled to size that was scanned so I can bring it into my drawing program that I use to trace. That way when when I scale it, I'll be able to see if it stretched or skewed. That would show exactly how precise your scanner is. Make sense?

Thanks again for your time, fellas-

Tangent Corner / Flatbed scanner that doesn't stretch or skew?

« on: November 05, 2012, 10:13:09 AM »

Hi, all,

I'm hoping someone may have some knowledge on a nice quality flatbed scanner that does not stretch or skew the objects it scans? The one I have is just not precise enough as it stretches and skews objects that I have scanned. When I say objects, I'm speaking of items like flat nameplates, electrical covers, etc.

They aren't always just square or rectangle, so the need to be scanned and then traced by me, but when I trace them, they just not quite right. I'm looking for a tolerancing of + or - .010" of an inch, and my bed scanner just ins't that good, (even calibrated).

Thanks for looking-
Dave

We did "ok" here and made out fairly decent as we didn't even lose power this time around. Last year in September we went for almost a week without power and I'll never go through that again.

I will say this about Sandy, in all my 15 years living on Long Island, and the rest, living here in Pa, I have never heard or felt winds like that in my life.

I was truly concerned at times through that storm, that is no lie.

I don't think you'll be disappointed with anything from Vectric.

I started with Cut2D but quickly moved up to VCarve Pro and never looked back
