Viewers & Utilities: AutoCAD Raster Design

When projects require use of paper-based information, AutoCAD® Raster Design software’s interactive vectorisation tools and optical character recognition (OCR) help mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers get fast and accurate results. With AutoCAD Raster Design software, you use interactive raster-to-vector conversion methods instead of having to do time-consuming and error-prone redrawing.

MEP engineers can develop building systems such as an HVAC layout using a scanned floor plan for reference. By incorporating compelling, easy-to-understand imagery you can speed approval cycles on projects, and raster revision and editing tools can help you make the most of your image archive.

With AutoCAD Raster Design, MEP engineers can

  • Enhance scanned drawings and plans
  • Minimise linear and nonlinear distortions after scanning
  • Enhance existing imagery using image-processing tools
  • Edit vector and raster objects
  • Selectively trace floor plans

User Interface Demo
The AutoCAD Raster Design user interface integrates with AutoCAD® software-based products, allowing you to easily manage and work with raster imagery.

Image Processing Demo
Learn to use sophisticated image processing tools to alter an image’s display, to hide or enhance features, or prepare images for use in other applications.
