| Mechanical |
Convert pencil drawings,
blueprints, brown lines and plotted drawings to vectors so that the resulting
CAD drawings can be edited in your CAD program |
Machining
or
Cutting |
Draftsman is the program
of choice for hundreds of job shops, where a finished product is the goal.
It is used in many cutting applications, including laser cutting, engraving,
flame cutting, wire EDM, milling, routing and other point to point cutting
applications.
The images that are converted
may be outline logos, or thin line sketches like a heart that might be
engraved on a necklace. Small images can ve vectorized and then scaled
up many times, maintaining smooth contours.
Draftsman produces a vector
drawing that is made of long lines and arcs. The image can be edited with
Draftsman without inturrupting or reordering the tool path. This advantage
allows the cutting tool to stay down the maximum amount of time, reducing
cutting time and tool damage.

| Mapping |
Use Draftsman to create
high quality coutour maps, platt maps, building sites and zone maps.
The vector maps can be imported
into mapping programs to perform a multitude of operations, such as finding
the perimeter and ares size of any given boundary. The long polylines are
ideal to use in AutoCAD and other CAD programs for conversion from flat
2-D drawings into 3-D drawings.
Draftsman can import scanned
images that can then have sections manually outlined for the purpose of
color filling. The raster and vector hybrid file can then be printed to
create colorful presentation maps.

Space
Planning
Architectural |
Scan drawings of floor plans
and use the drawings to arrange office space, or to lay out HVAC, heating,
ventilation or air conditioning ducts.
|
| Illustrations |
Update shop drawings, technical
manuals and sketches. Scanned drawings are often not sharp enough for publication.
Draftsman's vector drawings are excellent for printing purposes. Old illustrations
can be scanned, vectorized and updated before sending to the printer. |
