Is the drawing suitable for raster to vector conversion?
Some drawings – or parts of drawings – cannot be scanned and then converted to CAD using raster to vector conversion. Typical reasons include: • The paper drawing is so faint, dirty or damaged that although it may be possible to make a readable scan for viewing or printing, whatever you do you will not be able to create a clean enough scan for raster to vector conversion. • The drawing contains so many overlapping details – for example text written over drawing lines – that even if you get a perfect scan no raster to vector converter will be able to unscramble the information. Two drawings with too much overlapping detail. • Text at different orientations. Where text at one orientation is intermingled with text at another orientation it cannot be successfully vectorized. • Tiny details. Some drawing details are so small that they will never scan well enough for raster to vector conversion, regardless of the resolution you use. • “Messy” hatch patterns. “Messy” hatch patterns like the o
