    I had a sign shop scan the drawing from Kitfox and had them follow my suggestions. Worked out great.

    Having no little to no patience with "new to me" software, I downloaded the profile of the SS7 from the kitfox website, expanded the profile to fill a std. size paper in landscape and penciled in various design elements until satisfied. Then brought different colors in until the "one" finally came into being. Was a fun process and no computer! Lol.

    I scanned the Kitfox SS7 side and top view from the factory website. Then I used microsoft "paint" software to paint in colors and designs. It was kind of clunky but not too bad, but best of all its free software that comes with most windows software.

    Jim, that was my approach as well...except I snipped the three views directly from the PDF file. Just need to save the snipped files as a common image file (such as JPG or PNG). I'd be happy to send the three views to anyone who would like them (PM me).
