RxAutoImage for AutoCAD solves the problem of incorporating scanned raster data into a CAD environment by bringing scanned drawings directly into AutoCAD and providing raster clean-up, CAD-style raster editing and raster to vector conversion to facilitate revision and new drawing production. RxAutoImage™ Series is the most effective way to modify existing drawings still stored on paper or aperture cards. Over 50% of new designs are based on drawings that exist only in paper format. RxAutoImage™ Series solves this problem by bringing scanned drawings directly into AutoCAD as raster data and providing raster clean-up, CAD-style raster editing and raster conversion to facilitate revision and new drawing production.

RxAutoImage for AutoCAD allows the use of scanned color and monochrome raster data inside AutoCAD®. Versions for AutoCAD® 2000/2000i/2002 and AutoCAD LT® 2000/2000i/2002 both deliver the same functionality. RxAutoImage for AutoCAD offers raster editing, raster snap and raster selection methods that function as effectively as with vectors. As a result, raster editing becomes a natural part of the CAD environment when AutoCAD is combined with RxAutoImage for AutoCAD.

To convert a raster symbol, line, arc or circle to a vector object it is necessary to pick a point on the source raster object. There are several options for how to treat the source raster object - to delete or to keep it. To convert raster hatching to a vector object it has to be crossed by a selection line. Arbitrary curves are converted to AutoCAD polylines. A color and grayscale image has a reduced set of primitives to convert to vector. They are: polylines, lines, arcs and circles. Many technical drawings contain conventional graphic symbols: maps, plans, electric circuits, hydraulic and processing schemes. The symbol recognition of RxAutoImage for AutoCAD is based on an expert system. It is possible to train the program to recognize any graphic symbols, make a selection by picking, search and replace, and convert raster symbols to vector blocks and symbols. Raster symbols may differ from the specified template by orientation and scale, and the program will automatically define the required parameters for inserting the vector block

One Touch Editing with smart object selection enables you to select geometric objects (circles, lines, arcs or combined objects) from the raster image with a single click, in the same way as you select vector objects. You can manipulate the selected objects using any AutoCAD command.
