In our previous post, we showcased some recent improvements in Scan2CAD including Auto-clean and Enhanced OCR. This post continues the theme, featuring improved conversion settings, a simplified interface and many online account improvements. Let’s jump into it!
Default Conversion Settings – Giving Faster Conversions
Scan2CAD now offers more intuitive and accessible control over your conversion settings.
From selecting the objects you want to convert to fine-tuning individual tolerances, you have granular control over every aspect of the process. We know that choosing the right settings can feel overwhelming when you’re first learning the software, so we’ve redesigned how these options appear.
All conversion parameters are now neatly organized under a new Settings button. A conversion begins the moment you click Convert, allowing you to focus first on getting results and then refine settings if needed. If the initial output isn’t quite right, simply adjust your settings and convert again.
For those just getting started, we recommend choosing the preset that best matches your use case, you can always fine-tune the details afterward.
Drawing Tools
You may notice that Scan2CAD’s drawing tools are now hidden by default. To view them, simply navigate to View > View Drawing Tools.
We made this change because new users sometimes assumed that Scan2CAD was intended to replace their full CAD editor, which is not the case. While Scan2CAD includes basic drawing tools for quick edits, detailed design work is still best carried out in your primary CAD application.
If you need to make a small tweak before exporting, the drawing tools are still only a click away. For anything more substantial, simply export your DXF/DWG file and continue editing in your usual workflow.
Account Improvements
If you’ve logged into your Scan2CAD online account recently, you may have already spotted some major enhancements. Over the past year, we’ve introduced several improvements designed to make account and license management more transparent and user-friendly:
- You can now view the activation status of all your licenses, including who activated each one, a major convenience for teams managing multiple seats.
- You can switch from monthly to yearly billing, or change your subscription tier, directly from your account. There’s no need to cancel your existing plan first.
- License installation instructions now appear directly beneath each license, along with relevant download links.
- We’ve also simplified and modernized the overall account interface for a cleaner, more intuitive experience.
