Scanning, importing and exploding images help me

[JANCEV]

We need to draw a driveway access to a highway and the geometry is strange
for the wheel tracking.

We have an overlay template for it but I need to get it into AutoCAD in
order to draw it.

I would like to throw it on the scanner and import it into my drawing in a
form that is usable and at the correct scale. (basically I want to digitize
it)

What might be out there to help me achieve this?

scanning the image and creating a gif or whatever isnt a problem. I can
insert the image into the drawing, but ideally, I would like to explode the
entity since it surely will not be at the correct scale.

A cheap way of doin this is to actually draw a line on the image before you
scan it and make it to sccale. Say the scale on the image is 1/4"=1'-0",
then draw a line a couple of inches long and make sure it's as close to
exact as you can. Then when you scan it in, you have something to reference
the scale by.

Hope that helps..
