Vince,

Scaling your pic to 36" long, it is 27" high.
Is this correct?

36x27 would be a good size for the final layout.  I put my board in my scanner and scanned it, see attached.  I can scan it in any number of formats.  This one is in jpeg.  I believe that AutoCAD can import a file, but I have never been able to do it successfully.  I have autocad 2000.

Perfect!  Did you trace it from the jpg or were you able to somehow convert the jpg to AutoCAD?

Thanks

Vince ,

You can open a jpg in autocad.  Go to insert/raster image. You can then scale it to size you want and trace your lines.
I traced the outside profile , then used offset for the inner lines. laid out all the cross lines ,
 then drew  one .375 hole. Then copy the hole and paste at all the intersections.
Your jpg. pic is on layer pic.

Glad to be a help
When it comes to electronics , I 'M  of no help, so I try to help where I can.

I added the score numbers to the cross lines, the finish hole, starting holes, skunk marker and text.  I tried to delete the original jpg layer and AutoCAD would not let me.   Lazycam wants clean DXF.  If I do a save as and DXF will it get rid of any extraneous layers?

Thanks

Vince,

Heres' the dwg with no pic. No , autocad won't let you delete layers that contain any thing.
You have to shut off the layer you don't want , then do a copy , open new dwg , and paste.
