OK i am working on the templates for the reach boots i made.. i am having troubles with translating my drawings to digital and maintain the scale. when i went to college it was all done on a drafting table and with a big sheet of paper and drafting tools.. yes i am old.. don't judge. not to mention my cad software is SO old that it will not run on my computer. so if anyone has any suggestions that would be great.
Trace them on to a sheet of graph paper and then use guides in Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape and plot the points you measure on your templates to add points for lines. If you have curves, you can break them down into line segments of whatever resolution you want. If you really need to curves, you could use them to create splines.
You could also just scan them and then use an Auto Trace in Illustrator. I think Inkscape also has it.
