>Try HiJaak file converter for vector to raster and vector to vector. Be aware
>that the scale shall be something weird. HiJaak handles HPGL (but not HPGL2),
>DXF, WMF, JPG, BMP Postscript and a myriad of other formats. Note that you
>must change the file suffix to the one HiJaak recognizes (i.e. HPGL is
>*.PGL).

>For bitmap to vector, use Corel Draw 4.0 or better and be ready for some
>tweaking. There are some better packages for raster to vector, but they are
>expensive. See an AutoCAD periodical such as Cadence or Cadalyst for scanned
>image to DXF software. In addition to software vendors there are document
>conversion services in the above mentioned periodicals that convert scanned
>images or bitmaps using OCR to produce DXF files at very reasonable rates.

>If you just want a raster of your Windows based CAD design, try using
><Alt><Print Screen> to capture the entire view to the Windows Clipboard. Use
>the clipboard icon or <Ctrl><V> to paste into your Windows based word
>processor. Resizing is accomplished by simply selecting the image with one
>left mouse button click (for a right handed mouse) and then dragging one of
>the corner "handles" (small black filled square). Note: If you drag the
>handle in the middle of the frame border, only one axis will resize.
