Our hardware can not only print raster images and plot files, it can also scan your originals to file for authoring to a CD. While traditional bluelines are still available it is easy to see why digital large format is quickly becoming the industry standard. Blueprint Conversion Technology is providing architectural and engineering businesses with the latest large format printing technology.

In addition to storing your files on a cd for easier storage and longer life, we will keep a copy on file in our office.  If you should ever need a copy of the drawings, we should be able to supply you with one.

Auto Vectorization
(dwg, dxf, dgn, etc.)

The drawing is scanned, and through the use of conversion software, the drawing is vectorized. Because software is limited in its ability to determine line intersections, circles, text entities, etc. This process does not always produce the desired results, and is best used for tracing purposes. It will not produce perfect results. Text will need to be replaced, lines may not meet properly; scale may not be accurate, etc. The cost for this process including the scan is a $ 30.00 flat fee per drawing.CAD CONVERSION cad conversion raster to vector raster vector vectorization conversion conversion cad vectorization vector raster vector vector conversion paper to cad vector

CAD Perfect
(dwg, dxf, dgn, etc.)

The best method is called "CAD Perfect". It is just what the name implies - a high quality CAD file that is dimensionally correct, layered to your specifications, and ready to work on. We have a number of ways to create a cad perfect file depending on the condition and complexity of your drawing. The average price for a D size architectural drawing can run from $30.00- 250.00, again depending on the size, quantity and complexity of the drawing.CAD CONVERSION cad conversion raster to vector raster vector vectorization conversion conversion cad cad vector

Please note: While we can convert raster images to many vector file formats (DGN, Iges, PRT, etc.) our Vectorization samples are in DWG (AutoCAD) format. If you need a free DWG viewer download VoloView.

How to obtain accurate prices:
If your drawings are already in an electronic format such as a tiff file, or any other raster format. Please attach and e-mail us the file. We will give you a price and turnaround time.
If you have paper drawings only. You can UPS or FedEx 3 drawings of various complexities and we can price each one to give an approximation price on a larger job.
Send us all your drawings. We can have them all scanned to electronic format within1-2 days and have your paper copies sent right back to you. We can then proceed to quote prices and verify exact turnarounds. Once approved we can proceed to convert your files to Cad Perfect files.
