#Scanned Drawings
We have an HP ScanJet and am attempting to be able to scan
drawings in and get some type of usable format into AutoCAD. What I've
been running into is that the scanned image can be converted from its
original *.TIF format into a *.PCX Paintbrush format. Then I found a
program called PCXDXB that converts a PCX file into a DXB file that can
be pulled up into AutoCAD. What I end up with is just a mass of
hatch-like lines that make up the image, not lines as lines and circles
as circle…etc. Everything is just a mass of hatching lines. Does
anyone know of a program that can recognize a line as a line and a
circle as a circle and all (don't need the text) so that if I scanned a
box, I would end up with four lines in an AutoCAD drawing? We have found
this to be nice going into Word Perfect, but my main goal is to make it
so we can import some geometry into AutoCAD. ANY help here would be
GREATLY appriciated…….Thanx, Scott
