Scan2CAD raster to vector conversion software supports all desktop and wide format scanners, either directly or indirectly.
Direct support means you can use your scanner to scan directly into Scan2CAD. After scanning, the scanned image appears on the Scan2CAD screen where you can edit it, vectorize it and save it.
Scan2CAD will support your scanner directly if …
- Your scanner supports TWAIN and WIA – see our article, What are TWAIN and WIA? for more information. This means that Scan2CAD supports current models of wide format scanners like Colortrac, Contex and Graphtec as well as popular desktop scanners such as those manufactured by Canon, Epson and HP.
- Your scanner is a Colortrac scanner. Scan2CAD includes dedicated drivers for Colortrac scanners. Note that at present it doesn’t support Colortrac’s Ci or Gx+ series, although we will be bringing out an update that does support these models shortly.
If Scan2CAD does not support your scanner directly, it will support it indirectly. This means you use the scanning software that was supplied with your scanner to do the scanning and save the scan in a raster format such as TIFF. You can then load the raster file into Scan2CAD for editing and vectorization.
