AutoCAD Raster Design

AutoCAD software enables you to insert, view, and plot raster images, but you cannot edit and modify these images or perform image processing with AutoCAD software alone. With AutoCAD Raster Design, you can modify and save or export images for use with other drawings or applications. As a raster conversion and editing application, AutoCAD Raster Design includes an easyto-use image management tool to help organize the numerous raster files you may be using in your project.

AutoCAD Raster Design also improves DWG image management by providing the ability to embed images in the DWG file so you do not have to administer separate image reference files. It includes additional tools such as tonal adjustment, palette controls, Raster Entity Manipulation (REM) with SmartPick, raster snap, image rubbersheeting, optical character recognition (OCR), and vectorization tools with SmartCorrect.

In addition, AutoCAD Raster Design supports a wide range of commonly used raster data, such as the JPEG 2000, ECW, and LizardTech MrSID formats.

Use the Raster Query tools to obtain point information for elevation, slope, and aspect from DEMs and reflectance values from multispectral imagery.

How does AutoCAD Raster Design benefit users in the mapping industry?

AutoCAD Raster Design

Geographic information system (GIS) projects often cover large areas. Using aerial photography and satellite imagery is an effective way to add needed reference information. AutoCAD Raster Design takes advantage of precorrelated data and image mosaics to help mapping professionals manage large amounts of data.

Users can also analyze elevation information by applying elevation, slope, or aspect color mapping to visualize the underlying data. You can combine bands of multispectral satellite imagery into false color images that can be analyzed for information on land use, land cover, vegetation type, impervious surfaces, and so forth.

Many mapping users need to work from existing paper maps. These maps need to be used for reference, updated, or converted to vector format. Typical applications include tax mapping, land use planning, and resource management. Aerial photography and satellite imagery are often combined with other forms of mapping data to enhance understanding. Imagery also serves as a source of up-to-date base mapping information.

Mapping users typically spend many hours performing tedious tasks, such as correlating data, entering information, verifying maps, and evaluating and converting data. AutoCAD Raster Design can help mapping users to:

- Enhance scanned maps and plans
- Minimize linear and nonlinear distortions after scanning
- Merge or crop images, or both, to better support project extents
- Edit raster data as if it were vector data
- Use existing maps and plans for new projects
- Convert parcels, buildings, infrastructure, and other features to vector format
- Prepare data for further use in GIS systems and AutoCAD Map 3D Display Manager
- Trace contours and roads selectively or across an entire image
