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 paper drawings or raster images into a vector format. Raster images can be imported by scanning original paper drawings. Furthermore, RasterVect comes with TWAIN and WIA support for processing all types of scanners.
The target vector formats (DXF, WMF, EMF, EPS and AI) are supported by most CAD applications that use vector graphics, such as Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, AutoCAD. There are viewing tools like zooming, scrolling and color selection.
Designed to work on all Windows platforms, 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.
