A Raster Image is more or less equivalent to a newspaper photograph created with lots of small dots. The density of these dots is referred to by resolution, measured in dots per inch (stated as ‘dpi’).

We can let you quickly convert non editable scanned paper drawings/raster images into accurate vector files for editing in any CAD program. As CAD programs can only work with vector files you have to maintain the following process for conversion to vector format.

Our Paper to CAD conversion benefits:
We can use the following forms for conversion process:

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is mainly used for storing images, photographs and line art. TIFF is a very useful format for high color depth images and extensively supported with image applications tool like Photoshop (Adobe), GIMP, Ulead (Photo Impact) and Paint Shop Pro (Corel). It is also supported by scanning, faxing, word processing, optical character recognition, and other applications. TIFF files have become one of the most used forms with its simple outlook-ability. But a TIFF file is not easily editable in its original form. Solution:

It is always found that TIFF files are not easily editable in its original form. In order to get a solution INI CAD has come up with a process for converting your TIFF image files to AutoCAD (DWG) format with 100% dimensional accuracy without affecting your data. With our manual DWG conversions users can easily edit the final output into a multi-layer AutoCAD format file. We can create as many layers as needed by the client. We produce separate layers for dimensions, text, body, hidden lines, and centerlines, etc. Text is separated and has its own layer that is recognizable as text. Dimensions are intact and are shown by a separate layer.

We always maintain AIA layering standards in our work and sync with your layering standards. Just send us your TIFF files by uploading via secured FTP with project instruction and we assure delivery before the set deadline.

We can migrate complex paper drawings, hand sketches, hand scribbles, technical drawing and any other format into binary data with latest standards and techniques of CAD software at low cost.

The sketch consists of geometry such as lines, arcs, conics etc. We add dimensions to the sketch to define the size and location of the geometry. The user can easily display, edit, print, analyze or manufacture data to any scale.

CAD data can be shared simultaneously by multiple engineers around the world and sent directly to testing, tooling and manufacturing applications.

With CAD migration you can store your files in a more organized and efficient manner, giving you greater flexibility and increasing productivity.

Send us your complex paper drawings, hand sketches today in any format (GIF, PDF, JPEG, TIFF etc.) through secured FTP and we will deliver the transformed files to you overnight with a guarantee of 100% accuracy.

INI CAD offers simple conversions of scanned images to fully formatted CAD files in AutoCAD (DWG) for a wide range of residential and commercial construction-related projects of all sizes for Architects, Engineering Consultants, Building Contractors, Structural Engineers, Electrical, Mechanical Contractors and Real Estate Developers with all data on a single layer, to sophisticated CAD drawing with numerous layers, objects with tagged attributes and multiple databases.

The CAD Conversion Software uses clever algorithms to trace the hard copy, without having to resort to vectorizing.

Typically we take scanned documents in either TIF or Adobe Acrobat PDF format as well as in other formats such as JPG, GIF and BMP if required with standard quality that we can edit and store digitally.

We always ensure the integrity, confidentiality and security of all the documents and drawings we accept for digitization. After the conversion is complete we can safely destroy your documents or return them in their original condition. We can offer a fixed rate per drawing dependent upon size, or alternatively we can quote based on an hourly rate.

INI CAD offers conversion of photographs and bitmap images into hand-made vector graphics. We undertake AutoCAD conversions of photographs into accurate CAD conversions to make your drawings matching specific CAD standards and 100% CAD geometry.

The electronic version can be reviewed and edited with simplicity and are easy to store and handle.
