I was hoping someone had a drawing for the state of Florida. I have been searching everywhere and I can't seem to find one.

Why not grab it from the 50STATES.dwg found right here at the CADforum in the CAD Blocks section?  Simple.

Another option would be to click on the link below and download a PDF of the outline of the State of Florida.  Bring it into AutoCAD using the IMAGEATTACH command and trace over it with a polyline.  You can do that can't you?

This works, thanks. I searched for Florida maps, and nothing turned up.   I was hoping for something w/ a bit more detail, but this will do.

Yes, I can trace with a polyline, but was hoping to avoid doing that. I can also walk and chew gum at the same time...

Did you check the State of Florida Public Works Department or Department of Transportation or the State Environmental Department?  There are many resources at the state level that may have what you are looking for.  There might even be something available at the USGS website.  Seek and ye shall find.

I was hoping for a bag of gold from you for at least coming up with two suggestions but your reply will have to do.

I did all that. I even contacted the state's geology department. They use other software. Even when I pointed out the picture on their website was created in CAD, they still didn't what I was talking about. At any rate, I accomplished what I needed and do appreciate the help. I didn't want to burn too much time on this.
