I imported an AutoCAD (Dwg) file and need to scale and trace it.  The info I found in this form says to click to point to point edit button but I can't find that button anywhere.  what's the easiest way to import, trace and scale the drawing?

If you have it as a PDF, import it into your plan. Click on the PDF, then in the bottom tool bar, you'll see a dark blue box w/a red double arrow. Click that button, start the line at a point and move it straight across to the end point of a known or dimensioned spot. Then, it will show you the dimension it read, and you can then adjust that to be what it needs to be. You'll probably want to zoom in as close as you can so you can get a very accurate point marker. You can decide to keep the aspect scale or not. I usually do for a start, then double check it..
