just get a picture with something of KNOWN size in it raster it in a vector program ( photoshop will do this ) import to autocad as dxf, measure known point to point divide known measurement by measurement made in autocad then rescale to the quotient . trim all but desired out of dxf . import to mastercam write program make :) now how to do this with all linux programs well i havent got there yet but when i do i will swear off bill gates forever:) note perpendicularity of the photo is very crucial to get accurate scaling this can be used with any photo sometimes to an accuracy of a couple of thousandths depending on perpendicularity and the accuracy of the known measured item
