Imaging solution for AutoCAD LT 2000
1 April 2000
Rasterex has released RxAutoImage 2000 for AutoCAD LT 2000. RxAutoImage 2000 extends the native raster capabilities of AutoCAD LT 2000, providing a solution for bringing legacy data into the CAD environment. RxAutoImage 2000 is a fully scalable solution that provides an extensive range of raster imaging, editing and conversion solutions within AutoCAD LT 2000. The base RxAutoImage 2000 product provides image enhancement and some raster editing tools, RxAutoImage Edit 2000 adds object level raster editing functionality for document revision, RxAutoImage Pro 2000 adds automatic raster-to-vector conversion including OCR/ICR. Uniquely, a single licence of RxAutoImage 2000 runs within any Windows-based AutoCAD platform, namely AutoCAD 2000, Release 14, AutoCAD LT 2000 and AutoCAD LT 98.
Editing and conversion capabilities
Rasterex's RxAutoImage 2000 solutions are add-on products that extend the base AutoCAD LT 2000 support of raster objects. RxAutoImage 2000 adds complete editing and raster-to-vector conversion functionality using Autodesk's image engine API (application programming interface). While AutoCAD LT 2000 allows users to move, rotate, and scale the whole raster object, with RxAutoImage 2000 the user can add images and select a part of the raster image, or even individual raster entities (lines, arcs, circles, etc), for editing or conversion to vector entities.
RxAutoImage 2000 supports many advanced raster editing capabilities, allowing users to edit selected portions of specific images using sophisticated object selection capabilities. Key functionality includes line-following with orthogonalisation, single-pick object tracing, single-pick hatch object selection, automatic clean-up wizards, advanced rubbersheeting/calibration and raster-to-vector conversion with OCR (optical character recognition).
In many cases the raster editing facility allows the vast majority of scanned drawings to be maintained in their native raster format without conversion. For drawings that need to have associated vector attributes, RxAutoImage 2000 provides a full suite of customisable raster-to-vector conversion tools to convert all or part of the drawing to vector format quickly and efficiently.
A trial version of RxAutoImage 2000, as well as the other Rasterex software, is available at www.rasterex.com
