From paper to parametric, dimension for dimension.
Legacy drawings, scans and flat PDFs rebuilt as accurate native CAD — redrawn to your standard, checked against the original, and issued under proper revision control.

SCANNED, PLOTTED OR PDF — REDRAWN TO SCALE AND CHECKED BACK AGAINST THE ORIGINAL SHEET
.01Paper & Scanned Drawings to Native CADMicrofilm, linen and dye-line originals redrawn as native DWG or SLDDRW — every dimension read from the sheet, never traced by eye.
.02PDF & Raster to Vector RedrawVector geometry rebuilt from flat PDF and TIFF input, so text, hatching and dimensions become editable CAD entities rather than a background image.
.032D Drawings to 3D Solid ModelsExisting sheets rebuilt as fully constrained solids in SolidWorks or Inventor, with the original views regenerated from the model and checked against the drawing.
.04Legacy Geometry Rebuilt ParametricallyDumb legacy linework reconstructed with sketch relations and driving dimensions, so the next revision takes minutes instead of a fresh redraw.
.05CAD Platform Migration & TranslationTranslation between AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor and Fusion 360 through STEP and IGES, with feature trees rebuilt wherever a neutral file would lose design intent.
.06Drawing Standardisation & Title BlocksTitle blocks, layers, line weights and annotation brought onto one company template to BS 8888, ASME Y14.5 or AS 1100 — whichever you issue against.
.07Flat Pattern & DXF RecoveryFlat patterns and DXF profiles recovered from old fabricated parts, with bend allowances re-derived for the press brake actually running the job.
.08Structural & Piping Mark-up RedrawsMarked-up structural and piping sheets redrawn to current revision, with weld symbols, section marks and part references reinstated correctly.
PROCESS — FOUR CHECKPOINTS
How a conversion gets made
STEP.01
Source audit
Every sheet is logged, checked for legibility and scale, and any missing dimension is raised as an RFI before work starts.
STEP.02
Quotation
Once sheet count and complexity are known, a fixed written quote lands within 24 hours. No hourly meters.
STEP.03
Redraw & check
Each drawing is rebuilt to your CAD standard, then overlaid against the scanned original by a second engineer.
STEP.04
Delivery
Files issue as native CAD plus DWG, DXF, STEP and PDF, with a drawing register listing every sheet and revision.

RFI LOG — MOST FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Before you ask
Paper originals, dye-line prints, microfilm scans, photographs of drawings, flat PDFs and legacy DWG or DXF files. Where a dimension is illegible we raise it as an RFI rather than guess it.
