Conversion of Paper Design to Cad Design as Raster to Vector Conversion

Industries or companies like Architectural or design company do have always challenge to manage their hard copies of design drawings. It is also tough to maintain them long lasting. To manage these hard copies CAD conversion most effective method. Paper to CAD conversion service is basically scanning of paper drawings and digitizing them so that we can manage these hard copies more effectively and also long lasting without the possibilities of damaging or losing them, This is also called as raster to vector conversion.

AutoCAD is software which is being used wide across companies for conversion of Paper to CAD conversion files. VBA programming is one of method also where companies can offer customized options for faster output and also on time. Regular techniques also do employ by companies with AutoCAD integration

Companies prefer to have CAD converted file because of lot of reasons:

1. It basically increase the database of hard of drawing systematically organized and easy to manager
2. Top quality drawing with accuracy of dimension can be kept anywhere and easily share across platform and across the world without hassle of it.
3. Less opportunity to loss the data and we can save them long lasting.

Paper to CAD conversion technique is one of most efficient technique to manage the database which is in form of drawings. You can have 2 kinds of services in this area:

1. Scanning of Drawing hard copies and maps
2. 2 Drafting/Conversion or digitization of scanned files or map into electronic format by Auto cad Software

Lot of Industries outsourcing their CAD conversion jobs, for example we can use this service of Cad conversion in area of Machine Engineering drawing, Engineering drawing of electrical, instrumentation, architectural floor plans and, structural and also for converting maps, sketches, schematic diagrams, or circuit diagrams where positional accuracy of the objects is important. The paper to CAD conversion can also be used for conversion of contour maps, topographic maps, zonal maps, cadastral maps, utility maps etc. DiggySyS gives services to our clients most cost effective and yet without compromising quality.

How to Convert Paper Maps into Digital Maps Help of GIS Software

Paper maps are always challenging to manage and modern technology has witnessed drastic change from papers maps to digital maps. Due to availability of latest technology like geo spatial technology more paper maps are being converting into digital maps day to day basis.It is quite very much possible now days to convert paper maps accurately and up to exact same way with help of technology like cartographic symbology in GIS software.

We can convert maps into Digital format with different kinds of GIS digital Mapping in which one of common technique is to convert the paper maps into digital form and digitization from satellite images and other images using image interpretation techniques. To convert the papers map into digital map, scanning of maps is first step of it. It can be done with 300 dpi level to get clarity of features to be mapped. Than we will convert that scanned image to geo referenced image after. During geo referencing, the map is projected to user defined coordinate systems and projection.

To convert paper map to digital maps, we need to have GIS software with having almost all of the world's coordinate systems, projections and datum in the form library files.Once we have that GIS software and the maps we mapped in that software with real world co ordinate, than it is easy to do digitization with help of digitization table or on screen heads up. We use polygon,line and points as three entities to define any co oridinate in GIS map.We use points to features like land marks, bus terminus, tube wells etc. We use Lines with and start point and an end point to show Road network, railway lines etc. We use Polygons with start point and end points to show Water bodies, settlements, parcel boundaries etc .

Once we maps all features in any digital map in form of points, lines and polygon we can give colors to these features to understand about them . We can also give size and styles of features in the maps.We can also use different attributes to describe & give information about that line, point and polygon and this is one of advantage for digital maps.
