    I am currently in the process of designing and updating a number of
    electrical/instrumentation drawings for various projects. Sadly the existing
    drawings are far from adequate and are only scanned images (TIFF). I would
    be grateful if anyone could recommend any software that would convert part
    or all of the file into an autocad friendly format.

    There are several that convert to DXF.
    You might try Scan2CAD

    As with all such programmes the output depends on the input.

    I think CADALYST did a review a while back of the raster-to-vector products
    available. All of them had their strengths and weaknesses. They're a bit like
    text recognition programs - often of little use for professional output.

    If the drawings are not too complex you might want to consider simply
    importing them to AutoCad and drawing over them.

    We specialize in raster to vector conversions.

    If you will specify the specifics (i.e. # of files, ACAD version needed,
    etc.) along w/ a sample file, we will develop a quote for the
    conversions. Very economical. See our "NEWS" section to read an
    article on a similar project where we were able to save the client
    several thousand dollars.
