TraceART is a professional raster to vector conversion program (Vectorizer).

TraceART can let you quickly convert uneditable scanned paper drawings into accurate vector files for editing in any CAD program.

TraceART is a tool that allows you create a raster file by scanning the paper drawing. The vectorgraph output format presently supports DXF, WMF, SVG, EPS, HPGL, CGM and PDF.

It saves the converted file as an industry standard DXF file (Data Exchange Format) that can be read by any CAD program that supports this format.

TraceART is a direct replacement for traditional tracing and digitizing, releases you from tiring work.

The output format of the vectorgrah supports DXF, WMF, EPS ,SVG,and HPGL(PLT) at present. Target vector formats are supported by most CAD applications that use vector graphics, such as AutoCAD and Corel Draw.

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. This is because CAD programs can only work with vector files.

If you want to edit a raster file in your CAD program you must first convert it into a vector file. You do this using raster to vector conversion software. Once you have converted the raster file to vector you will be able to import it into your CAD program and edit it just like any other drawings you have created using you CAD program.

Here are some key features of "TraceART":

· Supports various common raster file formats,such as BMP,TIFF,TGA,JPEG...;
· Output vector formats support many file types, such as DXF, WMF, EPS, HP-GL(.PLT), SVG, EPS,CGM and PDF;
· Supports the batch process mode of many raster files;
· Has unique prompt preview parameter settings function;
· Convenient display control to raster and vector results;
· Can read in DXF file format, display and transfer its saving mode;
· Can directly scan drawings in software;
· Supports centerline, outline and filling mode.
· Supports width recognition of line;
· Supports noise filter and image rectification of vector image;
· Has preset recognition parameters for engineering and relief drawings;
· Easy in use.


Limitations:

· TraceART will add TraceART logos in you vector file saved. After you register it, there is no such limiting.
