CAD Conversion
What are the advantages of CAD conversion?
Computer aided design is the use of computer programs to design detailed drawings for engineering applications. It has many uses in architecture, engineering, and manufacturing. Having your paper drawings and plans converted into a CAD format - A file format used for storing blueprints, plans and technical drawings, these can be AutoCAD DWG, DFX or any CAD file format you require. means you can edit drawings on the computer.
CAD conversion - How does it work?
Our CAD conversion service focuses on the conversion of your existing drawings into electronic CAD format - A file format used for storing blueprints, plans and technical drawings, these can be AutoCAD DWG, DFX or any CAD file format you require. also know as raster - A method of rendering an image using pixels (tiny dots on a computer or television screen which when printed or viewed make up an entire image). to vector - A method of rendering an image using coordinates rather than singular dots of colour. Images rendered in this way can be scaled without degradation of the image quality. conversion. We offer two methods to convert the paper drawings to CAD format as listed below:
Auto Conversion
With Auto conversion hardcopy drawings are scanned - The process of turning documents into images that can be manipulated on a computer at high resolution - Resolution describes the level of detail an image holds, the higher the resolution the more detail an image has. Image resolution is measured in DPI (Dots per inch) or PPI (pixels per inch) and then using sophisticated computer applications drawings are automatically converted to CAD format - A file format used for storing blueprints, plans and technical drawings, these can be AutoCAD DWG, DFX or any CAD file format you require..
This low cost option to convert paper drawings into CAD format, however the accuracy will not be 100%, secondly the converted CAD file will not be to scale and some of the layers may also be out of alignment.
This service is for clients who wish to convert their drawings into CAD format - A file format used for storing blueprints, plans and technical drawings, these can be AutoCAD DWG, DFX or any CAD file format you require. and then spend some time to re-construct layers, scale and symbols etc themselves to the required accuracy.
Manual Drafting
Manual drafting is our top level 100% accurate CAD service, in this method the hardcopy drawings are manually drawn into CAD format - A file format used for storing blueprints, plans and technical drawings, these can be AutoCAD DWG, DFX or any CAD file format you require. to match the original drawings exactly. You may also choose to mark-out any information on the drawing to be omitted in the final CAD file. Additionally you can request for your own symbols or details to be added. All CAD files are drafted at full-scale, dimensionally accurate, with CAD layering (British Standards) and 100% line connections.
Our CAD conversion services offers fixed pricing per drawing which allows clients to budget their projects accurately. We provide all types of conversions including maps, architectural, mechanical and engineering drawings.
We can produce files in any CAD format including AutoCAD - Is a popular computer aided drafting software package developed by Autodesk. (DWG - (Pronounced Drawing) is a file type used by the popular computer aided drafting program AutoCAD to store drawing information., DXF - (Data Exchange Format) A file format that uses plain text to store drawing information. , Micro Station - (A architectural and engineering software package developed by Bentley Systems for generating drawings. (DGN - A file type used by the MicroStation architectural and engineering software package used to store drawing information.)) and many others.
