The Boeing Company of Huntington Beach, California, has purchased additional licences of Scan2CAD v7 Pro while upgrading existing seats This sale more than doubles the number of Scan2CAD v7 Pros installed at Boeing NASA Systems and makes it the largest user site in the USA

Scan2CAD v7 Pro automatically converts scanned paper drawings (rasters) into editable CAD (vector) files.

Boeing NASA Systems use Scan2CAD v7 Pro to convert its many old, often fairly poor quality, large paper drawings of electrical wiring installations into a vector DXF file for export to and editing in Catia.

Scan2CAD is supplied on CD with a 300+ page manual.

Technical support is free.

Softcover's Marketing Director, Steve Hannath, said "After evaluating various products Boeing NASA Systems has chosen Scan2CAD v7 Pro for its straightforward strengths and price and performance benefits".

"Our product development is ongoing and driven by user requests".

"Boeing requested that we add the ability to select and vectorise all raster entities within multiple user-defined polygonal areas".

"This was added to v7.2 which is free to v7 users".

"We will do the same for any user with a reasonable and practical request".

Comprehensive information on raster to vector conversion in general and Scan2CAD in particular can be found on Softcover's website, where CAD users can also sign up to receive Softcover's free raster to vector conversion newsletter.
