Scan2CAD raster to vector conversion software automatically converts your scanned drawings (raster) into DXF files that can be edited in your PC CAD, CNC, GIS or mapping program (vector). Conversion results vary from one raster to vector converter to another. The best converter is the one that saves you the most redrawing time. Few converters give the same high level of useful results as Scan2CAD. Here are four reasons why it saves more time. First, Scan2CAD recognizes more drawing entities (lines, dashed lines, arcs, circles etc.) than most converters. By recognizing all these drawing entities Scan2CAD saves you more time than converters that make drawings up out of hundreds of short lines or just lines and arcs, as many do. Second, Scan2CAD resolves many of the difficult recogntion problems that produce poor and untidy results in other programs, the ones that take so long to tidy up in CAD. Third, Scan2CAD works on the basis that every conversion must follow your paper drawing with absolute precision wherever possible. Many low cost programs trace blindly over the image. Others try to make sense of this mess by post-processing the trace. In juggling it around they produce vectors that no longer follow the detail on your drawing. Scan2CAD stays true to the original detail. Fourth, Scan2CAD converts quickly. In an independent test (CAD&CG Magazine, Japan, Feb 2005), Scan2CAD vectorized a drawing in 7 seconds with more accuracy than a rival "professional" program that took 1.03 minutes. Programs that are slower than Scan2CAD waste more of your time. They waste more time again when you do a second or third conversion in an attempt to improve on the first results. Scan2CAD is a four-in-one conversion solution Scan2CAD is a comprehensive raster to vector converter packed with practical tools to assist you through every step in the conversion process. Some expensive programs sell the tools for each of these steps as separate modules. Scan2CAD gives you ALL the tools in one professional program. In any raster to vector conversion the four fundamental steps are: 1. Scan the drawing or load a previously scanned raster file. 2. Clean the raster image image before converting it. 3. Convert the scanned drawing from raster to vector. 4. Edit the vectors.
