A very, very long time ago I posted a thread on scratch building a flatcar. For whatever reason I've dusted off the modeling supplied recently and have tried to come up with a better way to produce plans to follow when building new flatcars. My originals were hand drawn, to 100% scale, but very crude. I've seen some great examples of more refined plans such as these from Chris Butler as well as those included in kits from LaBelle, etc. Chris Butler used CorelDraw, which is a little spendy for my tastes. I've done some work with InkScape (free, open source) which produces acceptable results given my limited talents (see below) but makes it very hard to produce 100% scale drawings which is what I'd really like to do. Any options out there better than InkScape? Tips on scaling that are better than setting object size to 3.345" x 0.080" (aka roughly 24'4" x 8" at HO scale)?
