The introduction of computer-aided design has undoubtedly increased the quality of CAD designs. As a result of the continuous development of various CAD applications, users from varying industries have a handful of applications to choose from. Choosing the most suitable program…
We’ve talked about AutoCAD in quite a few articles here on Scan2CAD, and for good reason. It’s the top most-used CAD program in the global market and is one of the best choices for producing technical drawings and diagrams. Autodesk has…
Before the advent of CAD software applications, designs, whether mechanical or architectural, were done on a sheet of paper placed on a drawing board using pencils, set squares, and other drawing instruments. The design process was very time-consuming and tedious. If…
It’s a difficult time for the world as of late and the CAD community is one of the many industries severely impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic. For those of us who are able to work from home, the transition to remote…
Design is the foundation of creation. This is why every industry that has anything to do with creating, manufacturing, or building is dependent on CAD. This dependency has made the demand for designers and professional users of CAD software very high….
Video Tutorial: Converting PDF to DWG (AutoCAD 2023) Let’s jump straight into the video tutorial for converting your (raster or vector) PDF files to DWG using Scan2CAD – the leading computer-aided design (CAD) conversion software. AutoCAD 2023 We’ve talked about AutoCAD plenty of…
Most CAD and graphics design software today are only compatible with vector images and cannot open, read, or modify raster images. However, raster images are the most ubiquitous image format. While in the world of graphics design, CAD, CAM, and CNC,…
CAD is a crucial aspect of manufacturing and product development. Thankfully, solutions that enable you to design highly accurate models are readily available. In most cases, design has to be carried out before you even consider manufacturing. One of the most…
Design is a very crucial step in any manufacturing and creation process. Despite its importance, there was once a time when Design was subjected to limitations and inaccuracies present in the use of the traditional drafting desk and physical tools. Following…
Almost a decade and about 300 articles later, our Scan2CAD blog has touched on topics that revolve around BIM, CAD, and digital drafting with all the complexities and intricacies that go along with all of it. But for now, let’s go…
Due to the number of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software packages available today, it can be quite confusing when selecting the appropriate package for your application. There are numerous CAD programs with either similar or varying features, developed by various companies, for…
AutoCAD is a commercially-available program for CAD and design work. It was first developed and released by a back in December 1982 and has, since then, slowly put itself above its competitors in the CAD industry. The program has users in…
There was once a time when you could count all existing CAD applications on one hand. Back then, selecting a CAD package was only a matter of opinion A or option B; but that was a very long time ago. Today,…
Just like that, April has come and gone by. Hopefully, you are staying productive and accomplishing your goals, but also finding time to relax and enjoy some much-needed R&R. So much has happened in the last month in the areas of…
If you work with AutoCAD you have probably had a regular requirement to convert photos to CAD for you to use them in AutoCAD. The problem is that many conversion solutions will not give you the results you require. In this…
While most of Scan2CAD’s users can be found in fields such as architecture or engineering, our software has applications far beyond the AEC sector. Jacob Martin, a graduate student at Texas A&M University, saw how useful Scan2CAD could be when converting Electrical…
Scan2CAD knows all too well how difficult it can be for CAD enthusiasts and professionals alike to figure out the differences between CAD packages. With conflicting information—or none at all—there’s no real way of finding out what capabilities each program has….
As a comprehensive raster-to-vector solution, Scan2CAD acts as the bridge between an initial sketch and a professional CAD drawing. After converting their drawings in Scan2CAD, our users go on to use a wide array of CAD software—and, naturally, we often get…
Here at Scan2CAD, converting from raster to vector is what we do. After all, vector file formats are essential to CAD software. Without their editability, scalability and potential to attach reams of important data, CAD simply would not be the same….
We probably don’t have to tell you that AutoCAD is one of the leading CAD programs available on the market today. Whether you are in computer-aided design as a business or a hobby, it’s likely you rank this particular software fairly…
