Drawing Scanning

Drawings in their own right are extremely cumbersome to file and copy but ‘pre CAD’ drawings still need to be archived in some way.

Over 5000 large drawings can be archived onto a single CD-ROM and in many cases creases, stains and other ‘defects’ can be removed in the scanning process giving a pure white background and clean crisp lines.

Once scanned drawings can be loaded as a backdrop into CAD systems or even converted by our digitising service into a fully structured CAD file in AutoCAD, Microstation or other format.

Free Viewing Software We can supply our FREE drawing management software as part of our drawing scanning service to allow you to search for a specific drawing based on drawing number, title, date or other criteria.

Large Sizes Handled Our large format scanners can cope with drawings of up to 36” wide and any length. Our longest drawing handled was an aircraft wing section of over 50’ long !

Full Colour Facilities We can also scan full colour maps and drawings in up to 24bits (16+ Million colours). File formats supplied are usually TIF Group 4 compressed files at 200dpi but we can supply CALS, GIF, JPG and pretty much any other format up to 500dpi.

The scanners we use are amongst the fastest and most sophisticated on the market and have both top and bottom illumination which gives excellent image quality from film or tracing sheets.

All of our images are cleaned up after scanning by running them through a despeckle and deskewing process to obtain the best results and each image is individually inspected prior to final release.

Full drawing management solution Our Filestore EDM software allows you to set up a web based, enterprise wide drawing management system where client PCs anywhere in the world can access scanned, CAD drawings or other files.

CAD conversion Once scanned we can also digitise your drawings into fully formatted CAD files in AutoCAD (DWG), Microstation (DGN) or other formats enabling you to make rapid changes. To see a sample of our CAD conversion service download the before (TIF) and after (AutoCAD DWG) files here.
