Vextractor 4.60

The list below summarizes the conversion of hard-copy drawings to CAD drawings, using the raster to vector converter:

• Create a raster file by scanning a hard-copy drawing with a scanner.
• Use Vextractor to convert the raster file to the vector format.
• Import the vector file to your CAD application.
• 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.

Major Features:

1. The program supports a multitude of raster graphic file formats, including BMP, GIF, TIFF/GEOTIFF, JPEG, PNG, PCX, TGA, WBMP, PPM, PBM, PGM.
   
2. Vextractor supports the following vector formats:
   
   • AutoCAD DXF and DXB
   • Windows Metafiles WMF and EMF
   • ArcView Shapefiles (SHP)
   • MapInfo MIF/MID
   • ASCII XYZ simple text format
   • Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG)
   • Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
   • Adobe Illustrator (AI)
   • ILDA Data Transfer Format for Laser Show
3. New: Now Vextractor have advanced algorithm for photo and photorealistic image vectorization.
   
4. User interface languages: English, German, Italian, Russian.
   
5. For design drawings the program applies recognition of various graphic elements of the image: circles, arcs, orthogonal lines, etc. Here, the program offers an opportunity to create a uniform grid, which can be put on the elements of your vectorized object.
   
6. Vextractor contains a built-in advanced vector graphic editor, which easily allows you to add some corrections to your built vectors.
   
7. Vextractor can be used for cartographic information recognition. The program supports such popular GIS formats as ESRI ArcView Shape and MapInfo MID/MIF. In order to uphold the highest standards in cartographic information processing, the program offers a coordinate binding system with an option, which allows users to save data binding coefficients to the format of GeoTIFF and world-files of ESRI ArcInfo system.
   
8. Vextractor contains features, which are first of all intended for CAD and GIS systems: an opportunity to set your own coordinate system for vector images and an opportunity to specify a desirable size of a chosen image (width and height). Also you can assign Z-values (elevation) for polylines.
   
9. Apart from that, the program is ready to help you with artistic and design work. Vextractor builds geometrics of raster images, which consist of Bezier splines. The program supports a series of vector formats, which can be imported into all popular packages of vector graphics: Encapsulated Post Script (EPS), Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG), Windows Metafile (WMF/EMF).
   
10. The program contains a variety of additional features, such as a support for TWAIN32-compatible devices, an original three-window interface and more.
    
11. Vextractor runs on MS Windows 32/64bit: 2000/XP/2003/Vista.

Enhancements:

• New outline splines creation method with sharp corner recognition.
• Work for monochrome and palette images.

Requirements:

• Pentium III,
• 128 Mb RAM
