GD22-1L: Never Digitize Again! Raster to Vector with Autodesk Raster Design

Instructors: Felicia Provencal and Leonardo Asuan (Assistant); Mark Evinger (Assistant)

Class Description: How many hours have you spent hunched over a digitizing board converting old paper drawings into AutoCAD drawing files? With the tools provided in Autodesk Raster Design, you may never need your digitizing board again! In this lab, we will look at some of the techniques for scanning paper drawings and converting those scans into usable vector files. You will also learn how to convert text in a scanned image into AutoCAD text entities, and extract this information for use in word processing and spreadsheet programs.
