Lyn,
I've done a fair bit of this in the past.
There are a number of option depending on if you want an "automated" process
or wish to do this by "heads-up" tizing
Generally my feeling is that this is best accomplished in a CAD environment
such as Autocad or CAD Map (preferred as it can support map projections).
Check into Cadoverlay or other raster tracing programs offered by autodesk
(and others). Trying to do the same in Mapinfo or ArcView etc... can't
compare!
Hitachi software also offers some good products if I recall. I used to use
their cadcore tracer, however, I believe it's been re-named.
I'm sure a search on Google or at search.geocomm.com will give you some good
results.
Finally, if you want a consultant, I've had Scott Carter from usgsquads.com
do some scanning and conversion for me and he provides great service at a
good rate.
regards
Glenn
