: I have not built yet but plan to over the winter. I think I have a

: doesn't improve the poor resolution but at least when you expand
: the image the lines don't get all jagged. I also found that I
: needed to rotate one of the images slightly to get the image
: vertical lines to line up with the grid lines in the software
: display. It didn't seem to help to expand the images a huge
: amount since the lines would become so thick I'd just have to
: pick a number that seemed like the center. I can email you the
: offsets I came up with if you'd like.
Yes, your offsets would be a help. I too had to rotate H. Goldens Line drawing, after I pulled it into Autocad. When I finish the drawing I can share that with you, if you like. Do I need to send you my email,or can you see it in my profile? (not sure how this forum works)
