Vextractor 3.94

Vextractor allows you to transform raster images into vector formats by building centerlines and outlines. It can be used for vectorizing of charts, maps, schemes, logotypes and other similar images. It features recognition of arcs, circles and orthogonal lines as well as polylines smoothing, noise filtering and more. Supported input raster formats are BMP, GIF, TIFF, JPEG, PCX and TGA.

Why Do You Need Vextractor?
Chances are these days you can open raster files (e.g., BMP, TIFF, PNG, JPG) with your favorite CAD program - the majority of modern CAD programs can import and display raster images. However, as soon as you import your raster file in your CAD program, you will find out that all you can do with it is just view it and trace it over. You are unable to modify or edit the raster as easily as you can do vector data. That takes place because CAD software can only work with vector files. If you want to edit raster files in a CAD application you are to convert them to vector files first. That can be done with a raster to vector conversion program (vectorizer). Once your raster image is converted to the vector format, you will be able to import it in your CAD application and then edit it like any other drawings that you do with your CAD application.
The list below summarizes the conversion of hard-copy drawings to CAD drawings, using the raster to vector converter:
1. Create a raster file by scanning a hard-copy drawing with a scanner.
2. Use Vextractor to convert the raster file to the vector format.
3. Import the vector file to your CAD application.
4. Edit the drawing in your CAD application.
Vextractor can replace the traditional tracing and digitizing applications. It offers a simple and easy way to convert paper-based drawings to CAD drawings for further editing and use. Vextractor will save many hours of your time and free you from the boring and monotonous work.
