AutoCAD would be my 1st choice. Import the .BMP into AutoCAD and export a .DXF file that you can import into the CAD tool as 2D-Lines. Then you can convert a closed polygon into copper (if you need to). You can use the "Scale" command to make different versions.

Will it work? Maybe..
Yep. This works, but needs a fair bit of clean up converting arcs. The way Protel imports arcs from DXF is not perfect. However, BMP2PCB works quite well. I'd recommend that.
