Scanning a drawingThe process of CAD conversion starts with a high end quality scan. We use only four-camera scanners to scan paper drawings for raster to vector jobs. Image quality is everything here. If two lines are muddied up and appear as a single line how can our drafters know they should be separate? All of our raster to vector scanners sell for about $28-30,000. Once we have a high quality scanned image, we rectify it to insure it is aligned and scaled correctly, and it measures correctly on all axes points. Cad Drafting processWe use several methods to convert your drawings into CAD. Sometimes we use heads up digitizing, some raster to vector products, or some of our custom scripts and CAD conversion applications. We have spent years refining this process. We have found that one process does not fit all scenarios. If you need 100 drawings converted, we might do 30 one way, 30 another, and 40 a third way. There is a learned art to this process. On large ongoing projects we even set up dedicated teams who work only on one project throughout the entire year. Quality ControlAll work is checked by a different member of our drafting department. Our staff shifts to keep the drafters and checkers fresh. All are experienced with a minimum of three years of CAD work. Our work is guaranteed to be 100% correct—with no exceptions or excuses.
