Not too many people are going to be able to open AutoCAD files. How about posting them as a JPEG?

Can you convert it to Visio format? There's a free viewer available online and it's a much better file format for this sort of thing. I don't know if that's possible, though.

il just convert it to jpeg format.. but the downside for that is you can not print it in scale.. dimensions are available so thats not goin to be a problem.

Well if you're gonna scan it you might as well save it as a PDF. At least that's scaleable. (Just a suggestion.)

acrobat.com offers a free service through there website. you upload a file and it comes back as a pdf.

On second thought, though... if it's just a conversion of jpeg, it won't be any better than the jpeg... Nevermind. :-)

Broadgun has a free "pdf printer". That is, if you can print it, you can make a pdf out of it.

I've used it quite a bit and it seems to work really well.

You can send it to me as a DXF file.  I can convert it to an EPS to be used in Illustrator or Corel.  Not sure if Visio will take an EPS or not.
