| "Digitizing has made our extensive paper records far more accessible and useful. We get faster, more productive use from our historical maps and plans because the software makes it so easy to extract the features and text we need, adjust the coordinates, and integrate with other GIS and CAD data."
Gavin Schrock, PLS Seattle Public Utilities
Professionals worldwide use AutoCADฎ Raster Design software for a wide range of applications. Raster Design extends the power of AutoCADฎ software and AutoCAD-based products to help you perform raster drawing cleanup, editing and manipulation, raster-to-vector conversion, and image processing. The software helps you to work with imagery in a broad range of industry formats, analyze DEMs (digital elevation models) and multispectral images, and much more. Enabling you to work in the AutoCAD environment, Raster Design virtually eliminates the need to purchase and learn multiple applications.
Make the Most of Your Image Archive
Extend the value of your raster data using AutoCAD Raster Designs raster editing, manipulation, and vectorization tools, all in the AutoCAD environment. Add scanned paper drawings, maps, aerial photographs, satellite images, and other forms of raster data to projects, and enhance image quality with powerful, cleanup tools. Save editing time by vectorizing only those raster entities that require modification.
Communicate Ideas Precisely and Effectively
Create compelling presentations that combine information-rich raster images and intelligent vector drawings. Present proposals and internal communications that integrate maps, satellite data, and other forms of imagery. Share design and analysis findings with a high degree of specificity, and provide detailed graphical representations that speed project approvals.
