Topobase™ software to unlock and extend  
the value of existing design information. 
Helping design professionals across a broad range of 
industries—civil; GIS/mapping; mechanical, electrical, and 
plumbing (MEP); architectural; and manufacturing.
Designs Enhanced
AutoCAD Raster Design enables you to work in an 
AutoCAD environment, significantly reducing the 
need to purchase and learn multiple applications.
Extend the Value of Existing Information
Unlock and make the most of existing scanned 
engineering drawings, plans, and maps by using 
them in current projects. You can save redrafting 
time with powerful raster editing and raster-to-
vector conversion tools.
Use Industry-Standard Image Formats
AutoCAD Raster Design supports numerous image 
formats so designers can easily integrate and use 
imagery within their projects. Supported image 
formats include MrSID,
®
 ECW, and JPEG 2000, 
DigitalGlobe
®
 Quickbird TIFF, Landsat FAST-L7A 
format multispectral imagery, and the National 
Imagery Transmission Format (NITF), which is an 
important tool for the U.S. Department of Defense 
and the federal intelligence community. 
Other supported formats include the following:
BMP  
CALS  
DEM
DOQ  
ESRI GRID  
FLIC
GeoSPOT 
GeoTIFF  
GIF
IG4 
JPEG/JFIF  
DTED 
PCX 
PICT 
PNG
RLC 
TGA 
TIFF 
Clean Raster Drawings and Images
Improve usability and legibility of scanned drawings 
with powerful image cleanup tools. Despeckle 
removes stray pixels that result from scanning dirty 
or faded drawings or blueprints. Deskew corrects 
drawings that were crooked as they were fed through 
a scanner. Bias corrects distortion in an image’s aspect 
ratio. Mirror can correct transparencies that have 
been scanned upside down. By using these and other 
tools, you can reduce the time and effort necessary 
to clean up scanned drawings and maps while better 
maintaining your image archives.
Enhance Images with Intuitive  
Image-Processing Tools
Several image-processing features are available to help 
designers get the most from existing imagery. The 
histogram feature includes functions to equalize images, 
adjust brightness and contrast, convert grayscale or 
color images to bitonal images, and perform nonlinear 
tonal adjustments. The convolve feature has smoothing 
filters to reduce ruggedness and noise as well as 
sharpening filters to make differences in shading more 
distinct. The invert feature reverses the light and dark 
shades of binary, color, and grayscale images. These and 
“While we are working  
to create digital versions 
of our older paper maps, 
we use Raster Design  
to edit and maintain 
scanned maps digitally. 
The software helps us 
maintain our existing maps  
and lets us easily find and 
use our raster assets.”

Perform raster drawing cleanup, editing and manipulation, 
raster-to-vector conversion, and image processing while 
working with a breadth of imagery.
Approvals Accelerated
other image-processing features in AutoCAD Raster 
Design can help improve the appearance of existing 
images, so you can get the full benefit from your 
investment in imagery.
Convert Raster Data to Vector
Do you want to be able to use scanned drawings and 
map content without having to redraft? Would you 
like to convert raster lines, arcs, and text to vector 
for use in AutoCAD-based products as part of your 
drawing, model, or design? With vectorization tools in 
AutoCAD Raster Design, you can interactively convert 
raster to vector to accelerate project turnarounds and 
improve efficiency.
Use Optical Character Recognition
Recognize machine and hand-printed text and 
tables on raster images to create AutoCAD text  
or multiline text (mtext) automatically. Use 
interactive verification to correct results with 
dictionary matching. Save manual data entry  
time and improve accuracy when converting 
scanned documents with a lot of text.
Improve Decision Making
Get projects approved faster by creating drawings 
and presenting proposals that integrate information-
rich plans, maps, aerial photos, and other forms  
of imagery that enhance communication and  
understanding of your design intent.
When used with AutoCAD Map 3D-based software, 
AutoCAD Raster Design provides additional 
functionality so you can better utilize geospatial 
imagery to create color elevation representations 
directly from DEM, DTED, and ESRI
®
 GRID raster 
files. Visualize the slope and aspect information 
you need to help make better design and policy 
decisions. Show vegetation, land cover, and 
environmental information using readily available 
multispectral satellite imagery.
Enhance, Preserve, and Maintain Valuable  
Raster Assets
AutoCAD Raster Design software enables you to 
easily clean up, edit, enhance, and maintain your 
archive of scanned drawings and plans with image 
cleanup, processing, and hybrid editing tools in a 
familiar AutoCAD environment.
Incorporate widely available geospatial raster data that can be used to visualize information such as land cover.  
Data used in 
image from USGS National Land Cover Database.
Use correlation tools such as the unlimited point 
rubbersheet function to align aerial photos to drawings.
Accurately vectorize partial or entire scanned sheets  
using the semiautomatic and interactive raster-to-vector 
conversion utilities.
