CAD Conversion

Do you want to quickly and easily digitize your scanned drawings into accurate DWG, DXF (DGN or any other CAD formats) for fast and efficient editing in CAD - without spending a fortune? We at New Design Associates offer you digitization/ vectorization, a robust and comprehensive conversion solution that is suitable for every professional, commercial, industrial and scientific activity.

Vectorization is the most powerful solution for digitizing vector data from image sources. Our competitively priced solution saves you money and advanced performance saves you time. There are many advantages of Raster to Vector Conversion:

Resolution Independent: A vectorized image has no jaggedness, no loss in detail and can be printed at any resolution.

Size Independent: The image can be scaled up or down without any loss in quality.

Can be Updated or Partially Modified: A library can be maintained, upgraded or modified.

Can be archived and stored for later use: The archive of the artwork can be used for literature, manuals, brochures, newspapers, service bulletins and a host of applications.

You can use digitization procedure to process charts, drawings, maps, schemes and other similar images. We offer both manual and automated (auto-vectorization) services. We offer a unique platform for industry-oriented solutions and have various tools to get a perfect set of vector data faster and easier. We offer architectural, civil, engineering, construction, electrical, mechanical CAD or GIS files, ready-to-use, created from raster images, maps, blueprints etc. We render prompt, error free, accurate, reliable and economical services to our clients.

The key advantages of our service include:

• We normally create a drawing as a new file; the final output is editable and will be in DXF or DWG, DGN or any other CAD formats
• Since we create a new file, we can create as many layers as you require. We generate separate layers for dimensions, text, body, hidden lines, and centerlines, etc.
• Text is separated and has its own layer and is recognizable as text
• Dimensions are intact and are shown by a separate layer.
• High accuracy
• Cost effective hand-drawn conversions.
• Quick turn around, even on large jobs
• Feature Extraction
• Geo-coding of databases
• Local Area Planning (District Planning Maps, Census Maps, etc.)
• Photogrammetry
• Spatial Analysis and Modeling
• Utility Mapping

The converted drawings are manually drawn with precision and are fully editable and contains:

• Accurate layer information
• Accurate text (editable)
• Accurate line types (editable)
• Associative dimensions (adjustable)
• Associative hatch patterns (editable)
• Symbols & blocks of standard components
• Title blocks (as per scale)

Our digitizing services will allow you to convert any logo or graphic to vector format. If you have an old logo, graphic or artwork that is hand drawn or scanned, it can be digitized. All we need from you is a scan or copy of the image to be digitized, just clear enough to see details. Our ideal mix of quality, consistency and competitive prices has led to long term relationships with customers. Our large infrastructure and experience allows us to provide highest quality of CAD services at amazing low prices.

We guarantee 99.99% accuracy in the final output.

We use in-house software and techniques for de-speckling and de-skewing rasters. We use a heads-up manual redraw process for conversion to ensure dimensionally accurate CAD perfect output

We have a large pool of Engineers and CAD Technicians that can produce high-end vectorized output from a raster format. The team is headed by qualified engineers with extensive experience in their respective areas of expertise. Our customers include the most prestigious names in engineering, large and small, throughout North America and Europe.

We individually craft our imaging services to address each client's specific needs, never force-fitting customers into a standardized framework. Having served a large number of clients worldwide, we are familiar with the detailing procedures that are seldom captured by any purely software-based solutions.
