We convert raster drawings — TIFFs, JPGs, PNGs, scanned PDFs and microfilm scans — into layered, editable vector CAD. The deliverable is a dimensionally accurate AutoCAD DWG or DXF that matches the source, redrafted by a human operator rather than auto-traced. This is the right service when you have images of drawings but need real CAD geometry.
Facility managers and AE firms inherit digital-looking files that are still just images: plan-room scans, archived TIFFs, raster PDFs. They can be viewed and printed, but not edited, dimensioned or built on. Raster to vector conversion turns the picture of a drawing back into a drawing.
Every scan is rubber-sheeted before any CAD is drawn. We identify known control points — grid intersections, dimensions that appear on the source — and warp the image to correct for scan skew, paper distortion, and any inconsistencies. A human CAD operator then redrafts the geometry layer by layer, verifying each element against the source. The final CAD runs through our three-step QA process.
