Vector Image Creation for DCL

[satishrajdev]

This been always been a big problem for me to draw Vector lines...

e.g.

'(15   -15  -15  -15  -15  -15 -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15
 -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15 -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15
 -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15 -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15
 -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15 -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15
 -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  9 176  176  177  175  175  175  175  166
 176  176  253  -15  -15  -15 -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15
 -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15 -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15
 -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15 175  175  163  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15
 -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15 -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15
 -15  -15  -15  -15  -15  -15
)

 

I want to create vector from raster images...

Please suggest some ideas of doing it.

 

I have tried it from http://web2.airmail.net/terrycad/Tutorials/MyDialogs.htm

but cannot create precision this method....

 

really want it badly... waiting for your views

My view is that you almost never get a good vector image from a raster image and that it's better to redraw it. But then again, Lee has occasionally blasted a couple of my views from the sky ;-) Tried many things, even to make a slide from image but in the end , nothing beats a old fashioned vector drawing... but thats just my opinion...

If you are going to be doing a lot with rasters in Autocad then you should take a look at WiseImage for AutoCAD

 

I used to use an older version of this in the past, it features:

• edit raster directly within Autocad.
  
• convert raster to vector within Autocad.
  
• conver vector to raster within Aoutcad.
  
• de-skewing of raster images.
  
• separation of raster into layers.
  
• OCR, raster text converts to Autocad text.
  
• etc., etc., see the website.
  

It's not free, but if you are handling a lot of raster, scanned drawings, etc. then its worth it.

 

You can get a 2 week trial to give it a try

Edit, I should mention that there are stand alone versions as well as the Autocad one.

In the days the company I work for was still General Electric we used to work with Rastercad. Have some good memories for that program too but now we are Sabic no more... just (after 2 years of begging) we got WinTopo (freeware version). Wel lets just say , after working with that one I decided it was better and faster to do it myself.

I've done some work with bitmaps for use in DCL which you may find of interest.

Looks interesting Lee , I already new of the site from Terry but hope to find some cool stuf here too. Thanx and have a nice weekend.

Thank you all... I was on long weekend

 

@lee sir.... Your bitmap collections are too good. I am looking forward to it.
