Enhanced Image Management

Enhanced image management enables you to better manage the various raster files used in a particular project. Being able to access individual band information for the bands making up a single or multispectral image it particularly valuable. You can easily retrieve the detailed image properties associated with an image, including correlation and authorizing information via the Properties pane associated with the Image Manage window. 

Support for Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and Multispectral Image Types

The ability to view and analyze specific types of raster data such as digital elevation modesl and multispectral images brings great value to a designer or GIS professional. 

Raster-to-Vector Conversion Tools

Simplifies the conversion and revision of raster data with stramlined and improved vectorization tools such as One Pick with smartCorrect for primitives and the semiautomatic conversion followers. Vectorization tools respect the powerful drafting settings in AutoCAD. Verify geometry as it is created, helping to ensure the highest degree of accuracy

Raster Cleanup/Editing Tools

Cleanup drawings for archiving or for follow on raster editing or conversion.  Tools such as deskew, bias, rubbersheet, despeckle and touchup allow you to get the most from your scanned drawings.  Use REM (raster entity manipulation) with SmartPick and edit raster entities as if they were vector.

Image Correlation and Georeferencing

Accurately fit scanned maps or photos to survey coordinates.  The popular Rubbersheeting feature corrects distortions that prevent you from aligning an image in your drawing.
