Can I get a specific city skyline like London or New York?

Yes — upload a photo of any city skyline. PhotoCAD identifies the landmark buildings and captures the distinctive profile of that city in the line drawing.

Are skyline files popular for gifts?

Very much so. Personalized skyline outlines are consistent bestsellers as wedding gifts, housewarming presents, and going-away gifts — especially when cut from wood or metal.
