 Sample raster to vector Conversions

Raster to Vector Conversions

Several samples are available for download. These free samples are the ZIP version of .DXF files. These files should be downloaded and unziped. The resulting DXF vector file should be imported into your CAD program for testing. 

 

Rod.zip

4K .ZIP file

Rod is a mechanical drawing of a piston to crankshaft connecting rod. This file was created from an A4 Black and White scan at 300dpi. The conversion time was less than 10 seconds. The vector file has not been cleaned, modified or edited by any of our vector editing tools. This is the same raster image that is included in our demonstration software.
Bike.zip

4K .ZIP file

Bike is a piece of artwork (Logo). Typical for a cutting application. This file was created from an A4 Black and White scan at a resolution of 300dpi. The conversion time was less than 5 seconds. The vector file has not been cleaned, modified or edited by any of our vector editing tools. This was created from a raster file that is included in our Demonstration software.

4K .ZIP file

Fanpl is a piece of hand drawn artwork.  Typical for a cutting application. This file was created from an A4 Black and White scan of the artwork at a resolution of 300dpi. The conversion time was less than 5 seconds. The vector file has not been cleaned, modified or edited by any of our vector editing tools.  This file consists of polylines only. 
Topo.zip

download this
4K .ZIP file

Topo is a part of a topographical map.  This file was created from an A0 Black and White scan at a resolution of 300dpi. The conversion time was less than 6 seconds. The vector file has not been cleaned, modified or edited by any of our vector editing tools.  This was created from the raster file that is included in our Demonstration software.
Glif.zip

65K .ZIP file

Glif is a file created to show how text can be outlined and then applied to a cutting tool or engraving application.
Cadas.zip

download this
20K .ZIP file

Cadas is a part of a cadastral or plat map.  This file was created from an A0 Black and White scan at a resolution of 300dpi. The conversion time was less than 10 seconds. The vector file has been cleaned, modified or edited by some of our vector editing tools.   Specifically text boxes were added with parcel numbers and several parcels were filled.  This demonstrates our ability to add text and do fills.  This was created from a raster file that is not included in our Demonstration software.

Vector to Raster Conversions (Draftsman2000 only)

Several samples are available for download. These free samples are the ZIP version of .PCX files. These files should be downloaded and unziped. The resulting PCX raster file should be imported into a raster viewing or editing program for testing.
 
Floorpln.zip

Click here to
download this
13K .ZIP file

Scan of a floorplan, with additional elements added in Draftsman2000 as vectors then saved as a raster. 

This file shows how vector information and annotations can be added to a raster image then saved along with the raster information in a raster file.
 

Colormap.zip

Click here to
download this
140K .ZIP file

Scan of a map, with areas of color added as filled vectors in Draftsman2000  then saved as a raster (detail).

This file shows how you can use solid fills to create zoning maps, master plans and colorful presentations from scanned black and white maps.

(NOTE: To save file size, the color set on this image was reduced. Some dithering in the filled areas occured as a result. These areas were originally solid colors.)
