    Does anyone who has used a track planner know if any of them will import a 'to scale' sketch.
    I'm trying to short circuit the re-designing of my new layout with a planner when I have a 1/12 scale drawing.
    Bottom line reason: I want to use the 'print full size layout' feature to make layout construction easier.

    i know scarm has a feature to import a jpg [might do other formats?], with scaling if necessary,
    and overlay that with sectional or flex to create a layout plan ..
    not sure if this is what you want though ?

    That is exactly what I want.
    I have scoured my SCARM program, but I cannot locate 'import a JPG'.
    I am trying out the free version of SCARM, perhaps it comes with the paid version?
