How does AutoCAD Raster Design benefit building design professionals?

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 easy-

to-use image management tool to help manage 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 manage

separate image reference files. It also includes additional tools such as tonal adjustment,

palette controls, REM with SmartPick, raster snap, image rubbersheeting, OCR, and

vectorization tools with SmartCorrect.

In addition, AutoCAD Raster Design supports a wide range of industry-standard raster

data such as the JPEG, ECW, and LizardTech™ MrSID formats
