Can anyone produce the attached plans in illustrator so that I can use it as a base to design my side artwork?
I am finding it very diffcult to get the measurements right.
It would help move the project on heaps and bounds!
Thanks!

It's been a long time since I used Illustrator, but can't you just import the jpg in Illustrator and trace it? Then you can get a scaled outline of the side profile, draw your artwork, and then scale the final design to actual size?

Yeah, I could if the drawing was accurate.
I need the illustrator file to be perfectly accurate in terms of mm (hence the measurements) so that I can print my artwork out and fit it to my cabs side. The drawing is not accurate in terms of actual shape but the measurements are correct.
If anyone can do this and knows an easier way then help would be much appreciated!

Dude, why didn't you message me?
I have your cabs profile drawn to scale in AutoCAD haven't I? Just import that and trace it

I didn't want to bother you dude! You're already doing enough for me! Lol
If you could do this then thanks! As you can see the cab profile has changed slightly, ive made a few changes as I have a few ideas I want to throw at the cab, one of which you know
I'll be on msn again today as I am still ill.

I went old school and used graph paper. Each block equalled one inch. So everything was to scale. Worked great.
