Folks, 

This may be a bit off-topic, but I'll try anyway. I have some drawings in AutoCad 2002 to put into a drafting-standards manual. Of course, FM 6 can't read them directly, so I use AutoCad Lt 2002 and export them as .wmf or some other bit map. 

Problem is that the exported file always has a big empty border about the actual information. My question: Does a drawing package exist that would let me crop the bit map to eliminate that border? Or maybe that would let me convert the bit map to a vector and edit that file? 

Please advise. Thanks.
