“Professional raster to vector conversion program (vectorizer)”

by Nick Mead

If you worked with scanned drawings and regularly need to turn them into vectored images, then you'll find RasterVect a Godsend.

It's pretty much essential for anyone that works with scanned drawings and can transform raster drawings into vector format. Drawings can be imported by vector formats in DXF, WMF, EMF, EPS and AI. Most CAD applications support this format such as AutoCAD, Corel Draw so you can go on to further edit them in those programs. Options include zooming, scrolling and color selection. RasterVect also features TWAIN support for importing from any scanners; the ability to automatically recognize orthogonal and inclined lines, as well as arcs and circles. You can also maintain the scale of the initial paper drawing and transform grey and colored images into black-and-white. For those that have to work with complex shapes and angles, there is also support for lines, arcs and circles alignment.

An easy to use vectorising program that simplifies the whole process and is enough to deal with even the most complex shapes.

From the publisher of RasterVect

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.

The program 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.
