Faster conversion of scanned drawings to DXF

The low cost software for converting scanned paper drawings to DXF, Scan2CAD Pro, is now up to three times faster at vectorizing and has Command Line operation
If you need to convert scanned paper drawings to DXF so you can edit them in your CAD program, Scan2CAD Pro is your solution.
With indispensible features like the ability to scan large D/E/A1/A0-size drawings on small scanners by tiling, Scan2CAD v6 Pro was described as "outstanding", "astonishingly powerful" and a "great bargain" by Cadalyst Magazine (July 2001).
Now we've made it even better by releasing Scan2CAD Pro Version 6.1.
Version 6.1 is fast! It's up to three times faster at vectorizing than v6.
Version 6.1 has a Command Line, which means that you can now run Scan2CAD Pro from inside other applications.
The command line allows virtually any Scan2CAD Pro function to be automated and allows you to do batch tasks, like convert files from one raster format to another, despeckle and clean raster images in bulk or convert them from raster to vector.
Version 6.1 adds a simpler method for vectorizing color images quickly.
And, as a result of user requests the default load and save directories have been changed and new shortcut keys and a unify text height command have been added.
We listen to users! A demo of Scan2CAD Pro is available from www.rastertovector.com.
We encourage you to evaluate Scan2CAD Pro - and rival products.
If you do, you will find that Scan2CAD gives results as good as or better than other raster to vector converters - a claim substantiated by Scan2CAD's Five Star Rating in Cadalyst alongside Autodesk's CAD Overlay, GTX, Rasterex and VPStudio.
(All trademarks acknowledged.) As Cadalyst said, Scan2CAD Pro "debunks the cliche about getting what you pay for".
It costs just 249 US dollars or 149 UK pounds.
Technical support is free of charge and there are video tutorials to guide you through the program - it's just like having someone standing by you telling you what to do! "Not only is this the most excellent program, but the level of (free) support is second to none and the video tutorials make learning a real pleasure", said Philip Deverill, Scan2CAD Pro user.
