I have used Arc's ArcTrace to turn soil polygons to vector. Similar to Stephen's comment below, there was alot of post-tracing work correcting dangles, crossovers, and the like. In fact, I had an intern do the same map using ArcTrace + correcting and on-screen digitizing. The latter was less time consuming. Drew Phillips ***********original message****************** <snip>I've worked with MapScan enough to learn that it isn't for the easily discouraged. It is robust. It wants to contour every item in the scanned image, and the alphanumerics, and just about every patch of pixels slightly different from the surrounding area. It leaves a *lot* of work for the user once the vector layer is produced. It **DOES** do the job though.
