The CAD-Scan Connection
works closely with architects. The most common issues we address are archiving/preservation of original drawings and converting projects into CAD format.

ARCHIVING
/
PRESERVATION
-- we recognize how precious paper drawings can be, particularly the earlier ones. For this reason, scanning and preserving them on to CDs become important. We meet this task by making sure the integrity of the drawings are kept
. The data is stored in a .tif uncompressed
file
format (it has a long shelf life and there is no data loss); however, other formats are available. Also, the data is stored on "write-once" CDs, thereby creating a "master file." Note: 1 CD/DVD can hold over 1,000 drawings
. All
your paper drawings now can be safely stored (protected from fire or flood hazards) in a secure place, while a second set of CDs can be easily available as a
working copy at your desk--or carry them in your brief case. These raster files can be easily viewed in most computer programs (i.e., "Photo Editor," "Adobe PhotoShop," "Imaging," etc.). For more information, click on "Archiving" in the left margin.

CAD CONVERSION
(raster-to-vector) -- our company's strength lies in its CAD background. Our experience and know-how, along with sophisticated software, allow us to provide you with unique solutions and lots of options regarding "paper-to-CAD" conversion. Our range runs from autovectorization
, where scanned drawings become fully CAD oriented (editing not included), to
CAD-perfect drawings
(editing, layered, scaled and quality controlled). However, It's the "in between" that may be of particular interest to your needs; we create hybrid solutions (raster and vector files layered together in a CAD format) that, not only can save in time, but
save in cost. Our company can convert from digital to CAD and GIS, as well as from one CAD program to another CAD program (i.e. from AutoCAD's ".dwg" to MicroStation's .dgn"). For more information, click on "Raster-to-Vector" in the left margin.
