Greg: I have a CAD program, Vectorworks by Nemetschek North America, would perhaps answer to you specs, but it would probably be overkill. With this program you may scan a drawing, then place it on a "layer," create another layer, and copy the original, after which you can delete or move the original someplace else.
As I recall, I paid something in the neighborhood of $750 for my original program, plus a hundred or so to update it when I got my G5. Of course, you can probably do as much or more in altering an original scanned image in photoshop. Neal Hammon Greg Schoettmer wrote: > I could use some help locating a software application.
