[sdiy] recreating front panel layouts

[R. Drake]

I didn't realize that the Shaeffer software could import other graphic
formats, like a scanned image.  what formats do you do the
scanning/repairing in?  then do you have to trace over the image w/ FPD's
tools?  or will they do panels direct from scanned artwork?
