RasterVect - the professional raster to vector conversion program (vectorizer). RasterVect is a useful program for those who work with scanned drawings. With this program you can transform raster drawings into vector format.
You can import raster drawings by scanning original paper drawings.
The target vector formats (DXF, WMF, EMF, EPS and AI) are supported by most CAD applications that use vector graphics, such as AutoCAD, Corel Draw and many others.
There are viewing tools like zooming, scrolling and color selection. RasterVect has: TWAIN support for importing from any scanners; the ability to automatically recognize orthogonal and inclined lines, as well as arcs and circles; the ability to maintain the scale of the initial paper drawing.
RasterVect can transform a grey and colored images in black-and-white for subsequent recognition; can change a turn of the raster image; can correct union points of lines, arcs and circles. There is also support for lines, arcs and circles alignment.
The list below summarizes the process of transformation of a paper drawing to a CAD drawing using the RasterVect:
￭ Create a raster file by scanning the paper drawing into RasterVect using a scanner.
￭ Use RasterVect to convert the raster file into a vector DXF file.
￭ Import the DXF file into your CAD program and edit the drawing.
Designed to work on all Windows platforms, vectorizer RasterVect saves a lot of time. It's a replacement for traditional tracing and digitizing. It does provide a way to getting a paper drawings into your CAD program for quick and easy editing.
RasterVect Software has released RasterVect, the professional raster to vector conversion program (vectorizer).
The purpose of RasterVect is to quickly convert uneditable scanned paper drawings into accurate vector files for editing (as a CAD drawing) in any CAD program.
It saves the converted file as one of vector formats: DXF, WMF, EMF, EPS or AI that can be read by any CAD program that supports these formats, including AutoCAD R14, 2000, LT and similar, like Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator, Microstation, VectorWorks, TrueCAD, FastCAD and many others.
It's a direct replacement for traditional tracing and digitizing. It saves a lot of time. It is quicker than tracing with a digitizer.
You will probably be able to load a raster file (like BMP, TIFF, PCX -file) into your CAD program - nowadays most CAD programs can import and display raster files. However, once you have imported a raster file into your CAD program you will find that all you can do is look at it or trace over it. You cannot change or edit it.
Today small format scanners are increasingly common on the desktops of CAD users. A growing number of CAD professionals want to scan and convert drawings for editing in their CAD program.
You now have the ability to convert mechanical, electrical or architectural drawings done by hand into drawings that you can edit in your CAD program and save it onto disk.
