Drafting & Imaging Services
I am very experienced at drafting, converting and manipulating CAD &
image files to make them cleaner and more efficient. I can even take a sketch on a napkin and turn it into a high quality Flash Vector file. Please
take a look at my Before/After
Samples.
CAD to Vector File Cleanup and Conversion
- typically 1-2 hours per project, difficult CAD files
may take more time
- DWG or DXF format preferably (must
be a format I can manipulate), I strip down the layers
and create a vector file that is compatible with the software
Image File Cleanup
- typically 1/2 to 1 hour per page, depending on the quality
& level of cleaning
- supply me with a digital image file (preferably
a nice scan or PDF) and I'll do my best to clean
out the garbage manually. I can cleanup as much or as little
as you like, just let me know how far to go
Image File to Vector File Conversion
- average conversion time is 1-2 hours per floor, but it
depends on how much detail you want (I
can include walls only if you like)
- I take your image file and draw the floorplan over it
using vector lines
Image Cropping and/or Page Splitting
- it takes very little time to crop an image or split one
into wings
- if you have an image file you'd like to use, but no way
to crop it, I can take care of it for you. Often a floorplan
is too large for the page and needs to be split into separate
pages. This is a part of the other services, but if you
need something separate, it's a 1/2 hour minimum. (covers
email, up/down & crop time)
Room Element Setup
- I enter the room names into the Project Interface
- then drop the names and areas onto the plan
- this facilitates reporting by room and the names stay
vertical
System Icon Layout
- I can plot icons into your project for you
- I can work from sketches, specs, proposals or even just
a list of rooms-icons
- I have much of experience and a great feel for both functional
and aesthetic locations, so I can plot your preliminary
layout, then you take it from there

Why Vector Files?
Vector files use exponentially less server space than image
files while remaining crisp in high zoom and large prints.
