RasterVect Free Edition


Description.

Vectorizer RasterVect allows for the transformation of any raster drawings into a vector format.  There is TWAIN and WIA support for importing from scanners. Images can be acquired from any scanner. The target vector formats (DXF, WMF, EMF, EPS and AI) are supported by most CAD applications that use vector graphics, such as AutoCAD and Corel Draw. There are viewing tools like zooming, scrolling and color selection.
