Why automatic converters struggle with scans
A converter can recognise visible shapes, but it does not understand which marks are walls, dimensions, symbols or scanning noise. Fold lines, shadows and low resolution can create thousands of broken or duplicate CAD entities. The result may open in AutoCAD but still be difficult to use.
What we check
- Page quality, orientation and usable reference dimensions
- Correct scale and proportions
- Continuous lines, arcs and polylines
- Readable text and dimensions
- A practical layer structure for further editing
- Unwanted scan artefacts and duplicate geometry
What you receive
The output is supplied as DWG or DXF, depending on your workflow. The amount of recoverable detail depends on the source. We never promise information that is not visible in the original scan; unclear areas are flagged instead of guessed.
Best files to upload
Use the original PDF rather than a screenshot. If possible, include one known measurement so the drawing can be scaled. For multi-page files, tell us which pages are required by replying to the project email.
Let us assess your scanned drawing
Upload the PDF and your email address. We will determine whether conversion, cleanup or manual redrawing is the best route before manual work starts.
