> Does a drawing package exist that would let me crop the bit map to
eliminate that border?

They exist out the wazoo. Photoshop, PaintShop, Illustrator, and so on.

file?

You can't really convert a bitmap to a vector in the way you may think: A
box won't turn into a vector object, like a Frame box or an Illustrator box.
You can use Adobe Streamline or the outline tools in Illustrator, but you
won't end up with what I think you're looking for.

But in any case, perhaps someone will drop in to the thread that has
experience with CAD, and offer some suggestions that let you import without
having to futz with the file.
