There are two versions
of Scan2CAD, Regular and Pro.
The Pro version of Scan2CAD has the following features
that are not included in the Regular version. |

|

Support for raster
PDF files
Scan2CAD Pro loads and saves raster PDF files.
If the PDF file you are loading contains a single raster
image, it will be loaded in the same way as any other raster
image. If the PDF file contains many raster images, you can
step through them and select the one you want to load.
Scan2CAD Pro can save any raster image type as PDF.

Dictionary spellcheck
Scan2CAD Pro includes a 30,000 word US and UK Design
Dictionary that searches vectorized text for unrecognized
words. These are highlighted for quick editing.
You can add your own words to the Dictionary or even
create your own Dictionary in any language.

Color vectorization
Scan2CAD Regular loads color raster images but can only
convert them to black and white DXF files.
Scan2CAD Pro can create color DXF files from color raster
images. You can convert one, some or all of the colors on a
color raster image.
| Raster image |
Vector image |
 |
or
 |
Some raster to vector converters create color DXF files
by vectorizing color images as though they were black and
white and applying color to the vectors afterwards. Scan2CAD
Pro uses color information while vectorizing, which means it
is able to create more accurate color DXF files.

Batch vectorization
Scan2CAD Pro has a batch conversion facility that
converts multiple raster images automatically. It will
vectorize all the raster files in a specified folder.
The batch run can include pre-conversion raster tidying
up commands, like despeckle, hole removal, smooth, etc., and
includes options to run OCR and color vectorization.

Scan2CAD from other applications and automate virtually any
sequence of Scan2CAD commands. |

Font training
When you buy Scan2CAD, its OCR text recognition is able
to recognize a range of standard fonts commonly found on
many drawings.
However if your raster images contain fonts that Scan2CAD
cannot recognize or does not recognize well, you can train
Scan2CAD Pro to recognize them. This will save you hours of
time, particularly if you have many drawings from a common
source containing a specific font.
By training Scan2CAD Pro to recognize text automatically
you can save yourself much of the hassle and time of having
to edit unrecognized text later. And, of course, Pro's
Spellchecker with Design Dictionary goes a long way to
resolving, simplifying and speeding up this task!
You can train Scan2CAD to recognize as many fonts as you
like. You can even train it to recognize handwritten text so
long as it is not "joined up". |
