If you want to edit a raster file in your CAD program, you first have to convert it to a vector file. RasterVect does just that, transforming raster images or paper drawings into a vector format. Raster images can be imported by scanning original paper drawings. There is WIA and TWAIN support for importing from all scanners. The target vector formats (DXF, WMF, EMF, AI and EPS) are supported by most CAD applications that use vector graphics, such as AutoCAD, Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator. There are viewing tools like scrolling, zooming and color selection. Features: Recognizes orthogonal and inclined lines, arcs and circles; Has four various conversion methods (outlines, centerlines etc); Has modes SNAP, ORTHO and OSNAP; Forms correct corners at crossing lines, arcs and circles; Keeps scale of an initial drawing; Can recognize color images or transform their to black-and-white for the subsequent recognition; Can correct a turn angle of an initial raster drawing; Has drawing filters; Has Batch Mode and Macros; Has vector and raster editing features; Supports various raster formats, such as BMP, GIF, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, and so on; has own combined (raster+vector) format. Designed to work on all Windows platforms, this program saves a lot of time. It is 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.
