of our older paper maps,
we use Raster Design
to edit and maintain
scanned maps digitally.
The software helps us
maintain our existing maps
and lets us easily find and

AutoCAD Raster Design enables you to work in an
AutoCAD environment, significantly reducing the
need to purchase and learn multiple applications.
Extend the Value of Existing Information
Unlock and make the most of existing scanned
engineering drawings, plans, and maps by using
them in current projects. You can save redrafting
time with powerful raster editing and raster-tovector conversion tools.
Perform raster drawing cleanup, editing and manipulation,
raster-to-vector conversion, and image processing while
working with a breadth of imagery.
Improve Decision Making
Get projects approved faster by creating drawings
and presenting proposals that integrate informationrich plans, maps, aerial photos, and other forms
of imagery that enhance communication and
understanding of your design intent.
When used with AutoCAD Map D-based software,
AutoCAD Raster Design provides additional
functionality so you can better utilize geospatial
imagery to create color elevation representations
directly from DEM, DTED, and ESRI
files. Visualize the slope and aspect information
you need to help make better design and policy
decisions. Show vegetation, land cover, and
environmental information using readily available
multispectral satellite imagery.
Enhance, Preserve, and Maintain Valuable
Raster Assets
AutoCAD Raster Design software enables you to
easily clean up, edit, enhance, and maintain your
archive of scanned drawings and plans with image
cleanup, processing, and hybrid editing tools in a
familiar AutoCAD environment.

Use Industry-Standard Image Formats
AutoCAD Raster Design supports numerous image
formats so designers can easily integrate and use
imagery within their projects. Supported image
formats include MrSID,
DigitalGlobe
format multispectral imagery, and the National
Imagery Transmission Format (NITF), which is an
important tool for the U.S. Department of Defense
and the federal intelligence community.
Other supported formats include the following:
BMP CALS DEM
DOQ ESRI GRID FLIC
GeoSPOT GeoTIFF GIF
IG JPEG/JFIF DTED
PCX PICT PNG
RLC TGA TIFF
Clean Raster Drawings and Images
Improve usability and legibility of scanned drawings
with powerful image cleanup tools. Despeckle
removes stray pixels that result from scanning dirty
or faded drawings or blueprints. Deskew corrects
drawings that were crooked as they were fed through
a scanner. Bias corrects distortion in an image’s aspect
ratio. Mirror can correct transparencies that have
been scanned upside down. By using these and other
tools, you can reduce the time and eort necessary
to clean up scanned drawings and maps while better
maintaining your image archives.

other image-processing features in AutoCAD Raster
Design can help improve the appearance of existing
images, so you can get the full benefit from your
investment in imagery.
Convert Raster Data to Vector
Do you want to be able to use scanned drawings and
map content without having to redraft? Would you
like to convert raster lines, arcs, and text to vector
for use in AutoCAD-based products as part of your
drawing, model, or design? With vectorization tools in
AutoCAD Raster Design, you can interactively convert
raster to vector to accelerate project turnarounds and
improve eciency.
Use Optical Character Recognition
Recognize machine and hand-printed text and
tables on raster images to create AutoCAD text
or multiline text (mtext) automatically. Use
interactive verification to correct results with
dictionary matching. Save manual data entry
time and improve accuracy when converting
scanned documents with a lot of text.

Image-Processing Tools
Several image-processing features are available to help
designers get the most from existing imagery. The
histogram feature includes functions to equalize images,
adjust brightness and contrast, convert grayscale or
color images to bitonal images, and perform nonlinear
tonal adjustments. The convolve feature has smoothing
filters to reduce ruggedness and noise as well as
sharpening filters to make dierences in shading more
distinct. The invert feature reverses the light and dark
shades of binary, color, and grayscale images. These and
