Conversion
PDF, scan and sketch to CAD
Most drafting starts with a drawing that exists only on paper or as a flat PDF. We redraw it to scale in AutoCAD, on your layers, so it becomes a file you can design on rather than trace over.

Questions
About pdf, scan and sketch to cad
What if the scan has no dimensions?
We scale from something with a known size, usually a door, a stair or a parking bay, and tell you which one. Assumed sizes are clouded.
Can you convert a whole set?
Yes. Larger sets usually fit a monthly block better than per-sheet pricing.
Will it match our layers?
Send any DWG of yours and we copy its layers, text styles and plot style.
