do you guys know of a utility that traces bitmaps and produces splines. Corel trace is no good. Or take a corel trace eps or .ai and adjust the number of nodes and their location around the spline? Thanks I'm tracing CAT scans for lofting and its slow going by hand.

The corel trace approach is a big chore but you do have a setup to play around with. The other approach I sometimes use is to load the bitmap in the background and freehand trace it in the shaper with view background turned on.

Thanks, another way is to load the bitmap into corel draw and use the drawing tools over the full color bitmap then export to .ai. Thats how I'm currently doing it.
