wvbailey source files
Unfortunately the "source files" are just gif files, i.e. image files. I can send them to you if you really want them, but I don't understand what good they'll be to you. . . they're just the same as jpg files as far as I know. I've had a hard time saving layers in tif files (when re-opened they're often corrupted, there's a software flaw in the program), so I've had to save the tif files as "flat", layerless png files to avoid the corruption. If it weren't for the cost I'd have moved to vector graphics years ago; I don't want to use freeware; my effort-investment is too great to trust to something "free" (and I don't trust cheap purchased software, like the Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, it is not so good.) Respond on my talk page. Thanks, BillWvbailey (talk) 23:38, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

I appreciate your effort. The Autodesk Sketchbook Pro software is great for fooling around with jpg images, but not good for technical illustrations; the images I upload to wikipedia I call "sketches". But the software is cheap $100 US and with the exception of the tif corruption problem the latest version has been quite stable. But Autodesk Sketchbook Pro only generates big "raster" images: these are the ones supported: tif, bmp, jpg, gif, png. It will save-as psd and pxd. That's it. When I'm working on a drawing I can enlarge it and see pixels, and I can edit pixel by pixel. BillWvbailey (talk) 14:35, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

thank you
Thank you for making Wikipedia better. I especially found the SMT sizes illustration useful. --DavidCary (talk) 22:40, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
