CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

If you want to edit a raster file in your CAD program, you must first convert it to a vector file. RasterVect allows you to transform paper drawings into a vector format. At first glance, this software seems to be a carbon copy of Adobe Photoshop. Plenty of editing functions will keep you satisfied--any file can be rotated, parts can be cropped, colors can be changed, and various effects can be produced. The interface is well-organized, with all editing features located in the main menu. The most important tool palettes, with working tools such as zooming, painting, and scrolling, appear on the right side of the screen. We found the tutorial helpful, with plenty of detailed examples and explanations. RasterVect also offers TWAIN support for importing images directly from scanners. Taking into account all these tools and features, when it comes to vector-image editors, this program takes the cake.

Publisher's description

From RasterVect Software :

RasterVect can transform any raster image into a vector format. Raster drawings can be imported by scanning original paper drawings from any scanner with TWAIN support. 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. Viewing tools include zooming, scrolling, and color selection. The program has four conversion methods (including outline and centerline); has Ortho and Snap modes; keeps the scale of an initial drawing; can correct a turn angle of an initial raster drawing; has various raster filters (despeckle, smoothing, median, holes removing); has vector- and raster-editing capabilities; has a batch mode (with macro); supports various raster and vector formats; and has a combined (raster and vector) format.

The program now supports multipage raster files, and a few minor bugs have been fixed.
