Why Convert Paper Drawings to CAD?
While CAD systems have become commonplace in most engineering offices, the integration of manually created drawings with the CAD system is still a topic that many professionals disagree on. Three solutions to this problem exist today; • CAD Conversion • Scanning and Editing a Raster Image • Manually Maintaining Drawings on Paper CAD conversion offers significant advantages over other methods such as significant cost saving, increased drawing value, and improved overall drawing management efficiency. Reduce the Cost of Revisions. Revisions done in CAD may be 2-8 times faster than the same revision done by manual methods. Conversion allows the user to take advantage of these savings even when working with old paper drawings. Cost of revision may be further reduced by shortening the time of CAD revisions. Converting drawings to fully vectorized files increases the ease of editing. The user no longer needs to switch back and forth between raster and vector files. Conversion utilizes a CAD
