Here is a constant-scale natural boundary map of Ida that folds to a decent replica of the asteroid. Map edges are Ida's major ridges.[attachment=16299:Ida_MaxRidge_post.jpg]
[EDIT] Here it is again with the photomosaic properly credited; apologies to M. Nyrtsov for my oversight. |

By hand I presume you mean manually, no I will make them automatically.
I can probably convert them to WMF but DXF or CDR are more suitable if you are planning to cut them by laser. You can download the models from the PDS Small Bodies Node. Celestia keeps some of them in a more friendly 3DS format. |

this may surprise you but I don't have much familiarity with those programs. DXF is the only acronym I recognize, and VectorWorks is the cad system i use for architectural drawing.
