without having more info or an exmaple file I couldn't give you an exact method. Typically we would have somehing to scale from in the deliverable

I have a few options with the county GIS system.

 "GIS data can be downloaded from the GIS Data Portal and from our FTP site, and is available in multiple formats:

• Adobe Reader (.pdf) – FTP only
• ESRI File Geodatabase (.gdb)
• ESRI Shapefile (.shp)
• Generic CADD file export (.dxf) – Data Portal only
• AutoCAD (.dwg)
• Orthos (.sid and .jp2) – FTP only"

This is what I originally pulled and tried to scale via PDF, but I wasn't sure how to make that accurate with our design drawing.

Personal opinion, its far more efficient to trace your contours in chief..takes less than 20 minutes for most lots using elevation splines. Imports tend to bring in too much information.

I guess that’s what I’m struggling with. How would I  pull them off and trace them and ensure accuracy? 

I’m trying to figure out how to pull the contours from a specific lot in Baltimore County, MD to add to a landscape design. I can’t figure out how to pull the DWG file of the specific lot. I’d love for someone to assist that could walk me through it (happy to pay for services of course!).
