The task of converting legacy documentation in the form of blueprints, pdf’s, raster images or older, vacated software files is quite necessary to acquiring quality data that can be imported, archived or used in new software applications.
Converting older files into usable CAD files is time-consuming and also must instigate quality assurance standards, to ensure the information is accurately translated.
The main source of engineering productivity is gained in modifying older drawings to fit new standards or project applications.
Hours of drafting time is saved when older projects drawn on blueprints are converted to CAD and used as the basis for new work.
Another critical application involves raster files that have scanned into a computer system, yet the dot-matrix nature of these files render them burdensome to work with, and often completely useless.
Raster to vector conversion can create functional CAD drawings from image files of various formats.
