Portable RasterVect 22.2

RasterVect is a comprehensive application that will enable you to transform raster images into vector format. Raster drawings can be imported by scanning original paper drawings. There is WIA and TWAIN support for importing from all scanners. The target vector formats (DXF, WMF, EMF, AI and EPS) are supported by most CAD applications that use vector graphics, such as Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, AutoCAD. There are viewing tools like zooming, scrolling and color selection.

Description.
Vectorizer RasterVect allows for the transformation of any raster drawings into a vector format. There is TWAIN support for importing from scanners. Images can be acquired from any scanner. The target vector formats (DXF, WMF, EMF, EPS and AI) are supported by most CAD applications that use vector graphics, such as AutoCAD and Corel Draw. There are viewing tools like zooming, scrolling and color selection.

Here are some key features of "RasterVect":
· Recognizes orthogonal and inclined lines, arcs and circles
· Has four various conversion methods (centerlines, outlines etc)
· Has modes ORTHO, SNAP and OSNAP
· Forms correct corners at crossing lines, arcs and circles; Keeps scale of an initial drawing
· Can correct a turn angle of an initial raster drawing
· Can recognize color images or transform their to black-and-white for the subsequent recognition
· Has despeckle filters
· Has Macros and Batch Mode
· Has vector and raster editing features
· Supports various raster formats, such as BMP, GIF, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, and so on
· Has own combined (raster+vector) format. Designed to work on all Windows platforms, RasterVect saves a lot of time. It is a replacement for traditional tracing and digitizing. It does provide a way to getting a paper drawings into your CAD program for quick and easy editing.
