Intelligent Drawing Legacy
(Transforming/Converting a raster/vector file)
The Intelligent Drawing Legacy module enables quick and easy conversion of raster (scanned) documentation (.jpg, .tif) and / or vector documentation (.dwg, .dxf) into intelligent SEE Electrical format. It is available in three levels.
(Paper documentation conversion)
With the advanced SCANIN function, raster documentation (one or more “scanned images”) is easily and quickly imported into a SEE Electrical project (structure). – VIDEO
Scanned files are processed in such a way that functional SEE Electrical elements are placed via scanned images or symbols. In this process, special functionalities are available, where the “background” of the symbol is formed, so that it does not interfere with the mixing of old graphics with new intelligent symbols.
(Converting raster documentation)
Designers often obtain documentation in formats other than the formats of the system they use in companies. This means that this documentation is difficult to make full functional use of in professional programs. To put it simply, the project obtained in a CAD format is vector, which states that it does not have an intelligent background and thus automatically generate accompanying documentation / inventories and a connection to the technical database. From almost the very beginning of distribution, SEE Electrical allows the use of (.dwg, .dxf) formats in the project, but so far only in vector (illogical) form. – VIDEO
The SEE Electrical intelligent module allows easy conversion of vector documentation to SEE Electrical format. So it converts the vector documentation into an intelligent full functional form and thus the possibility of using all the advanced functionalities of the SEE Electrical program.
Using the aforementioned simple process of converting vector documentation, any user can quickly and easily convert projects from a CAD format to SEE Electrical format. With this, the user very quickly acquires all the advanced capabilities of an intelligent project!
