Introduction
The digital world is
here to stay, and you may be asking yourself if your
company is making the most of the efficiencies in
digital technology. If you're one of the thousands of
companies who manage large format drawings, "going
digital" can truly be a challenge. You've heard about
digital planrooms. You may have even researched them and

Success with An IDEAL Online PlanRoom |

Project Background and
Objectives
Valley Blueprint had an antiquated
Plan Room in place and had hired a consultant to
research and recommend a new Plan Room solution.
They needed to digitally archive and index thousands
of hard copy construction documents. Sub-contractors use
the construction documents when they bid on construction
jobs. In addition, contractors need the construction
documents to be readily available when they need to view
them or when they need to order additional copies of the
documents.

News: New Technology Increases
Level of Scanning Precision |
| IDEAL/CONTEX Scanners Contain
Patented Technology Which Corrects Dimensional
Errors |
Introduction
When looking at pixels across the range of a camera,
the pixels tend to be more elliptical at the outside
edges of the lens and more round in the middle of the
lens. This anomaly is known as a spherical lens error
and can introduce inaccuracies in the scanning system
that can vary quite substantially between different
points along the scan line.
