Architects, Engineers and Planners have been working with electronically generated drawings for a number of years now, through packages such as AutoCAD, MicroStation etc. However many still have an overlap of third-party or pre-electronic drawings which are of critical importance but take up valuable space, deteriorate in quality and prove expensive to reproduce.

Scanning up to 2000 drawings onto one CD may be a cost-effective way of guaranteeing the security of these drawings, eliminating deterioration issues and reproduction costs while simultaneously freeing-up that valuable storage space. Furthermore, by providing multiple access with back-up copies of each CD, this solution will ease congestion and increase efficiency in a hectic drawing office.

Our large format scanning service ensures that all your drawings are scanned to scale and stored on CDs with back-up copies provided. Each CD's stand-alone software will allow you to retrieve an individual drawing from a database structured upon the various fields in the drawing's title block. There is a viewing package enabling you to pan, zoom, plot-to-scale, scale-to-fit and export to any drawing package where necessary.

Large format scanning is ideal for the imaging of broadsheet newspapers. Again, such work would come published to CD-ROM with stand-alone software for retrieval, viewing, plotting, scaling and exporting.

As with all our scanning services, collection and return is included, document preparation is available if necessary and back-up copies are provided free of charge.
