Strug­gling to main­tain your old paper archive? Do you need to be able to revise and mod­i­fy your scanned draw­ings with­out time con­sum­ing trac­ing and redrawing?

In this dig­i­tal era, these designs are still rel­e­vant, but their phys­i­cal for­mat lim­its usabil­i­ty. GTXRaster CAD solves this prob­lem. With GTXRaster CAD you can scan, edit, and auto­mat­i­cal­ly con­vert raster draw­ings into true vec­tor­ized CAD files (DWG/DXF format).

Image cleanup and enhance

Eas­i­ly improve your lega­cy raster draw­ings with smart tools like auto­mat­ic and semi-auto­mat­ic cleanup, deskew and despeckle.

Raster edit­ing

With the built in IOP (Intel­li­gent Object Pick­ing) meth­ods you can select spe­cif­ic raster enti­ties like lines, arcs, and cir­cles to manip­u­late, allow­ing intu­itive mod­i­fi­ca­tions such as move­ment, trans­for­ma­tion, dupli­ca­tion, or dele­tion. Merge raster and vec­tor objects effortlessly.

Con­vert and vectorize

Need ful­ly vec­tor­ized draw­ings? With the raster to vec­tor con­ver­sion func­tion you can con­vert raster geom­e­try to CAD enti­ties along with text recog­ni­tion. Your old draw­ing becomes a valu­able dig­i­tal asset.

Instantly clean up scanned drawings.

  • GTXRaster® CAD auto­mat­i­cal­ly elim­i­nates arti­facts, specks, and smudges, pro­duc­ing clear­er, pro­fes­sion­al-qual­i­ty images. 

  • Cor­rects scan mis­align­ment, ensur­ing per­fect­ly aligned hor­i­zon­tal and ver­ti­cal lines.

  • Reduce col­or or grayscale images from mil­lions of col­ors down to 256, 4, or pure black-and-white, opti­miz­ing clar­i­ty and efficiency.

    Ide­al for:

    • Dig­i­tiz­ing paper archives
    • Enhanc­ing pre­vi­ous­ly scanned drawings
    • Improv­ing image clar­i­ty before doing edits

    GTXRaster CAD® is the ide­al solu­tion for dig­i­tiz­ing exist­ing paper draw­ings or refin­ing scans for seam­less edit­ing and sharing.

    • Vectorized 2D CAD

      Edit Text


    Raster-to-text con­ver­sion

    The advanced OCR func­tion in GTXRaster CAD® trans­forms raster text into editable CAD text — even for angled labels, elim­i­nat­ing the need for man­u­al corrections.

      Bounding Box

    Intel­li­gent object picking

    Select raster ele­ments like lines, arcs, and cir­cles as if they were vec­tor objects. Eas­i­ly move, rotate, erase, or dupli­cate raster com­po­nents with an intu­itive workflow.

      Skew

    Hybrid draw­ings

    Over­lay raster images with vec­tor CAD tools, retain­ing most of the orig­i­nal con­tent while selec­tive­ly edit­ing or enhanc­ing key areas.

    Vectorize.
    Convert raster drawings into CAD.

    Trans­form paper draw­ings into true DWG/DXF vec­tor files with GTXRaster CAD®. The soft­ware auto­mat­i­cal­ly detects and sep­a­rates raster objects, enabling stream­lined cleanup and editing.

    Mul­ti­func­tion edit­ing — no hassle

    Once vec­tor­ized, mod­i­fy your draw­ings just like any oth­er CAD file using stan­dard vec­tor edit­ing tools.

    Any questions?

  • The major dif­fer­ence between GTXRaster CAD and GTX­Im­age CAD is that GTX­Im­age CAD works as a stand­alone solu­tion, while GTXRaster CAD used togeth­er with Auto­CAD®, Bric­sCAD® or ZWCAD®.

    If your work envi­ron­ment is pri­mar­i­ly an Auto­CAD® design envi­ron­ment, using a full ver­sion of the Auto­CAD®, Bric­sCAD® or ZWCAD® prod­uct, then the best GTX solu­tion series for you is the GTXRaster CAD® Series. If your work envi­ron­ment uses oth­er CAD design solu­tions, i.e., Micro­Sta­tion, Pro/​Engineer, etc., then the best solu­tion for you is the GTX­Im­age CAD™ Series.

  • GTXRaster CAD Plus and GTX­Im­age CAD Plus con­tain all the raster edit­ing and manip­u­la­tion capa­bil­i­ties of the stan­dard edi­tions, with the added func­tion­al­i­ty of auto­mat­ic raster to vec­tor con­ver­sion and oth­er valu­able func­tions. For a full com­par­i­son chart see our pric­ing page.

  • GTX’s Intel­li­gent Object Pick­ing (IOP) tech­nol­o­gy allows you to work with raster enti­ties as intel­li­gent objects. Use this fea­ture to select raster enti­ties (line, arc, cir­cle) even if touch­ing oth­er data. Use the All­Text IOP to select all raster text enti­ties, or use the IOPOut­side to select defined raster enti­ties. IOP pre­serves under­ly­ing geom­e­try dur­ing erase and raster to vec­tor conversion.

  • Yes, this is one of the core func­tions in GTXRaster CAD! GTX quick­ly con­verts any or all select­ed raster into rec­ti­fied and accu­rate enti­ties, such as lines, arcs, cir­cles, poly­lines and text. Its abil­i­ty to rec­og­nize line styles, splines, cross-hatch­ing, arrow­heads, and also the abil­i­ty to set a gap jump vari­able, fur­ther increase con­ver­sion accuracy.

  • Yes! GTX ICR pro­vides true Intel­li­gent Char­ac­ter Recog­ni­tion (ICR), based on hybrid neur­al-net tech­nol­o­gy. The soft­ware can be trained to auto­mat­i­cal­ly rec­og­nize text char­ac­ters asso­ci­at­ed with indi­vid­ual or com­pa­ny drafting/​lettering styles. This advanced tech­nol­o­gy even rec­og­nizes touch­ing text and pro­vides a dic­tio­nary and pat­tern match­ing to fur­ther improve your text con­ver­sion results.

  • The GTXRaster CAD Series prod­ucts are intu­itive and easy-to-use, pro­vid­ing a pro­fes­sion­al hybrid solu­tion for both new and expert CAD, EDM and GIS users. Since all menus and tool­bars are con­sis­tent with Auto­CAD, the inter­face allows both novice and exist­ing Auto­CAD users to be imme­di­ate­ly productive.

  • The GTX Series appli­ca­tions offer ful­ly auto­mat­ic, semi auto­mat­ic and man­u­al modes, like auto­mat­ic Raster to Vec­tor con­ver­sion for all your scanned images (includ­ing Geom­e­try recog­ni­tion and text recog­ni­tion) or auto­mat­ic and semi auto­mat­ic image cleanup, despeck­le and deskew your image using the intu­itive GTX Noise removal com­mands. All com­mands can also be used manually.
