1 The Number 1 In Raster / Vector Processing ForOver10Years Overview and Specifications

2 VPHybridCAD world s No. 1 in hybrid CAD represents a line of internationally awarded software products, with a success story of more than 10 years and a currently installed base of more than 13,000 licenses. VPHybridCAD is designed for efficiently processing legacy technical drawings and geographical images. VPHybridCAD software is executable standalone on Windows and on AutoCAD and Auto- CAD LT platforms. An advanced Network License Management ensures multiple user ability. Hybrid Technology empowers VPHybrid- CAD with simultaneous processing of raster and vector data. Raster-to-Vector Conversion interprets raster data and converts scanning results into CAD vectors, even on color or gray scale images. Vector-to-Raster Conversion allows to convert CAD vectors into various raster data formats to provide the information independent of any CAD platform. From Paper Drawings to Digital Productivity To manage paper drawings or maps, companies desire professional methods to scan, edit, and convert these resources to exploit their content as high-value information in the digital world. Using a single application that allows easy, simultaneous raster/vector conversion and editing is the first choice. VPHybridCAD responds to this demand with excellency and provides advanced software applications to access, combine, and convert raster images and vector data, even in color. The results are expanded editing options, cost savings, and a substantial increase in workflow productivity. VPHybridCAD software is available from expert resellers in all major languages for: CAD/CAM EDM AEC GIS Scanner Interface A built-in scanner interface supports popular Large Format Scanners ( b/w and color). VPHybridCAD takes direct control of the scanning process for optimum image quality. Quickly, a raster image can be cleaned, deskewed, edited, and even classified by specific color patterns. This functionality provides tremendous quality and speed improvements. Desktop and other scanners using a TWAIN interface can be easily operated and managed with VPHybridCAD.

3 One Click Clean-up, Scan-Enhancement Functions The Auto Clean-up button offers the fastest scan improvement you can imagine: drawings are deskewed, speckles are removed and raster holes are filled automatically. For advanced functionality, users can choose from a single dialog or use the batch processing features to simplify cleaning operations and revisions of drawings, One Click Clean-up regardless of the drawings' complexity. environment-depending color filling functions speed up the process. Superior color reduction, color manipulation, color separation, and color filtering procedures ease this time consuming graphical process. Raster and Hybrid Editing The traditional method of editing raster and vector data using separate software application tools is "old school". VPHybridCAD offers the ultimate hybrid editor so that raster and vector entities can be created, moved, copied, scaled, and associated to new objects at the same time. Entity selection and snap functions for raster or vector elements provide fast and handy editing and accurate placement. Raster entities can be selected and altered directly, like their vector Rubber Sheeting/Calibration Merging Raster Files AEC and even more GIS applications require fast and simple-to-use editing functions and high accuracy in Rubber Sheeting/Calibration. This powerful function provides the entry of an unlimited number of reference points to assure highest precision. The merge features allow to join multiple raster files, including smart stitching or transparency options. Merging raster drawings is also possible with "copy'n paste", followed by optional rotation and accurate scaling. Color Processing Color maps and satellite photographs contain additional information compared to b/w drawings, especially with mapping and GIS. A unique selection of color handling functions allow for fluent extraction of the required information by unifying similar and close colors to one single colored area. Intelligent, Reduce the Colors of Your Drawing in Seconds! equivalents. Hybrid commands make clean-up and revision a breeze. An outstanding win over traditional methods! Select Raster or Vector Entities with a Click! CAD and Contour Tracing/ Interactive Line Following Enhancing maps using VPHybridCAD is more comfortable than ever. Selected raster contour lines are quickly converted into joined polylines or splines like altitude lines in topological maps even in color or gray scale raster images! Contour elevations can be added easily for 3-D presentation. Dense or difficult (old) technical drawings are converted step-by-step to CAD entities like lines, circles, and arcs avoiding recognition errors. Automatic deletion of converted raster elements cleans the remaining raster data simultaneously.

4 Automatic Raster-to-Vector Conversion One of VPHybridCAD's greatest assets are the state-of-the-art conversion algorithms, designed for maximum accuracy and speed. This is combined with intelligent element recognition capabilities. Entities are automatically converted and assigned to respective layers. Text Recognition (OCR) converts raster text into CAD compatible fonts. The real-time Dynamic Line Width Classification is another great feature! No need to go through niggling test settings to sort different lines and line types! Converted into Vector Data Powerful CAD Design VPHybridCAD provides a full set of CAD design functions. Precise drawing of entities is convenient with the new Command Line Interface. Symbols and repeatedly used parts of drawings can be saved and re-used with the Symbol Library Manager, a multiple clipboard that even can be accessed by other users in a corporate network. More CAD features include: layer and line type managers, creating blocks with attributes, multi-line text, user coordinate system, automatic altitude assignment for maps, and various snap functions. The Redlining provides extensive annotation aids with user access control to support your workflow organization. For exchanging these markups, it is not necessary to or transfer the whole file: just send the small redline file. The new Vectorizing Wizard subsumes the whole parameter set-up to a simple job. These are only some of many features that make VPHybridCAD the No. 1 around the world! Vector-to-Raster Conversion VPHybridCAD is the connecting link between raster, vector, and hybrid formats. Usually, many CAD files are not compatible with other CAD software. This limits the ability to universally distribute and use these files. The rasterize function translates vectors into raster or standard hybrid formats without any visual loss of information. These files can be viewed, reviewed, plotted with any software, and distributed. Symbol Recognition Many technical drawings contain standardized symbols, such as pumps, valves, switches, electronic parts, etc. VPHybridCAD can search for these patterns, even during raster-to-vector batch conversion. Recognized symbols are replaced by defined CAD blocks and their associated raster text is recognized as block parameters. AutoCAD and RasterDWG VPHybridCAD provides a concurrent operation of all their products with AutoCAD/AutoCAD LT. AutoCAD users can utilize familiar commands to access both Raster and Vector Data simultaneously, thus eliminating previous slower methods. The full compatible RasterDWG format expands AutoCAD's standard DWG to a universal hybrid data format. The raster data is combined with the AutoCAD vector data and saved to a single RasterDWG hybrid file. This important option eliminates broken image file links usually associated with AutoCAD. RasterDWG guarantees straight distribution of hybrid drawings among partners and via internet/intranet.
