    I never used AutoCAD ... LT, but I think you have no image support. You should upgrade to a full version, or try to find a 3rd party software.
    It's nice to be nice, but sometimes is nicer to be evil!.
    Tip: Please do not PM or email me with CAD questions - use the forums, you'll get an answer sooner.

    LT has very limited image capabilities BUT....there is a free add-on for LT that gives it the image capabilities of full AutoCAD. It is called SlingShot and you can find it here..

    http://www.drcauto.com/download/slingshot/setup.exe

    Check it out, totaly free. I have it loaded on LT2002 and it works just fine.
    This will allow you to insert a .tif file and you can then manually trace over it.
    Good luck
