Overview - CAD
Conversions/Vectorisation to DWG/DXF
Scanning of most microfilm aperture cards and
drawings
to raster format and then conversion to vector CAD formats (vectorisation), for example DXF or
DWG formats.
This service can be offered with incredibly fast
turnarounds as once hard copy information has been received, the rest of the
work can be performed electronically, via email for example.
If we have already previously scanned the drawing, or
you already have the drawing in a raster format, then this can be emailed to us
for the conversion.
This service is an ideal partner to a large format
scanning project, where all drawings are converted to a raster TIFF
format. Odd files that are required in a vector format can then be emailed
to us, as and when required, for a vector conversion.
The vectorisation/conversion
process can be done automatically or manually to the point of achieving a fully
corrected CAD vector file.
There are a few types of conversion available, relating
to the time required, quality and cost.

Typical Applications
Automatic raster to vector conversion
Automatic conversion from
raster to vector using advanced software for line and text recognition. This is a very inexpensive way to convert, however,
the resultant file will contain errors.
Manual
conversion (trace)
Manual conversion of the raster
file to a vector format, complete with layering. The file is returned
error free, however, not to scale.
Full redraw with scaling
Complete redraw of the scanned
image or drawing. File will be returned with full layering and to scale.
