AutoCAD Raster DesignAutoCAD® Raster Design can save you time with interactive raster-to-vector conversion methods, providing you the flexibility to convert some or all of your raster information into standard AutoCAD objects. These tools allow civil engineers to efficiently combine raster and vector data while eliminating the need to manually redraw complete plans. Use scanned plans and maps, aerial photos, digital elevation models (DEM), and satellite imagery to get projects approved faster by adding compelling and easy-to-understand imagery. Help planning decisions by analysing DEM data with elevation, slope, or aspect color mapping or combine bands of multispectral satellite data into false color images that can help you evaluate topography, land use, and land cover. AutoCAD Raster Design helps you - Enhance scanned maps and plans
- Eliminate linear and nonlinear distortions after scanning
- Merge maps
- Edit vector and raster objects
- Use old maps and plans for new projects
- Selectively trace roads, parcels, and buildings
- Prepare data for further export into geographic information systems (GIS)
- Trace elevation contours with contour follower tools
- Convert machine and hand-printed text to AutoCAD® text with optical character recognition (OCR) tools
