Processes Scanned Raster Drawings and DWG/DXF Files
|
October 22, 2002, Rockville, MD -
IDEAL.com has begun distribution of PlanTracer, a new product in
IDEAL's family of Scan to CAD products. PlanTracer is the first
solution on the market for AutoCAD and Architectural Desktop (ADT)
that converts floor and building plans into intelligent models
automatically and/or semi-automatically. These models are suitable
for immediate use in AEC or Facilities Management (FM) applications.
PlanTracer enables conversion of
simple graphics or source floor plans into objects such as walls,
columns, windows, doors, etc. The program can process any 2D-floor
plan loaded in AutoCAD or ADT. It processes scanned raster drawings
or DWG/DXF files.
"Facility managers
can scan their paper drawings using an IDEAL/Contex scanner, convert
the raster data to vector with the WiseImage plug-in to PlanTracer,
and then create a 3-D model." says Jay Magenheim, President of
IDEAL.com. "PlanTracer bridges the gap between an AEC model of a
building and vector data provided by any 2D drawing system or by
raster-to-vector conversion software."
IDEAL.com showcased
PlanTracer at the recent WOTC show in LasVegas, NV and will be
demonstrating PlanTracer at AutoDesk University on December 3-5,
2002.
IDEAL.com plans to market
PlanTracer through an authorized dealer program and is actively
seeking qualified dealers. Interested dealers can obtain more
