Jim;
A couple of things. BMP's are rater images and as such are not very scaleable.
They can not be exploded into their component pieces and edited and are not capable
of being used as blocks in AutoCad files. AutoSketch is not a lite version of AutoCad.
It was designed for the beginning cad operator. AutoCad has all of the 2D and 3D
functions built into it and AutoCad LT is primarily the 2D cad package.
If you built them as blocks with vector graphics, they could then be saved as a .dwg
file and could then be imported and scaled like other vector entities in AutoCad.
