Pere,

Thanks for the tip, will employ as and when (if I get to that stage).

I tried the ascii format, which does work (more clear if not joined up) however, the number of ascii points is about the same as the dxf "bits", that are saved as dxf in Cloud Compare, so not a great improvement (with regards to time delays in using tools) for actually working / tracing.

Am still experimenting with the bmp image which is easy to work on, but with inconsistent tool actions, possibly due to working over the image (at bottom of selection and with draft off).

I had drawn a polyline rectangle about the property, but due to large scale, the start and end points are not joined. I can't find a method of selecting these two points and joining them together...

I feel that polylines have to be used to give a true representation of the (as-Found) structure, rather than inputting mathematical constructs like rectangles (ideal for design), where corners between walls may not be right angled.

Anyway, I'll keep on reviewing some of the handy You-Tube tutorial videos.

Many thanks for your input - greatly appreciated.

Tim.
