Common tasks

The Archive

You certainly have a lot of drawings in your archived. The information contained in these archives is highly valuable to you. Archived documentation may become needed not only for reference but also as the base to create new designs or maintain old ones.

How to manage this huge amount of drawings and related documents? The optimal way is to scan these paper archives into a digital raster format. Once captured, these electronic files can be incorporated in document managing systems and therefore efficiently revised as they become closer to CAD. WiseImage helps you enhance scanned paper drawings, eliminate distortions, remove speckles, etc. With WiseImage you can integrate scanned documents into electronic workflow and find, print and send your documents.

Typical workflow (some steps can be optional):

• Scan paper documents.

• Calibrate image to eliminate linear and non-linear distortion or deskew image.

• Filter raster image.

• Layering or Binarization for Color Images.

• Hybrid editing for improving quality.

• Vector documents can be rasterized to be stored in archive in raster format.

The Revised Drawing

You often have to revise drawings as you need to make changes with a hybrid editor like WiseImage you can work with raster and vector data in the same document using the same tool for modifying raster and vector graphics. Using hybrid environment gives you the unique possibility to combine old paper with new designs taking advantage of CAD editing and construction functionality.

Typical workflow (some steps can be optional):

• Raster or Vector Documents.

• Calibrate Raster images to eliminate linear and non-linear distortion or deskew image.

• Filter Raster image.

• Layering or Binarization for Color Images.

• Full set of hybrid editing commands, Trace, R2V conversion and Rasterization to make necessary changes.

• Print revised drawing.

Engineering Model

Your raster drawings can be converted into vector format and exported to external CAD/CAM systems for modeling and executing analysis.

Typical workflow (some steps can be optional):

• Scan paper documents.

• Calibrate image to eliminate linear and non-linear distortion or deskew image.

• Filter raster image.

• Layering or Binarization for Color Images.

• Trace or Automatic Raster-to-vector conversion depending on image quality and contents.

• Automatic and manual Vector Correction.

• Hybrid editing for improving quality.

• Export document to external CAD/CAM/GIS system.
