Draftsman 2002 is an exceptional document conversion program with everything that you expect in a full-featured 32 bit image conversion package, including speed, automatic raster to vector conversion, optical character recognition, heads-up digitizing, raster and vector editing, and for archivers, vector to raster conversion!

Converting the image is simple. Portions of the scan may be selected for any of a variety of operations, including raster editing, automatic conversion, and OCR. Once the conversion is complete, vector and text editing are done quickly with Draftsman's editing tools - about 40 of them. You get true entities, lines, arcs, circles, polylines with the addition of actual text.

It runs independent of AutoCAD and is not affected by AutoCAD updates!
