Top 10 Reasons to Buy or Upgrade

Professionals worldwide use Autodesk® Raster Design software for a wide range of applications. Raster Design extends the power of AutoCAD® software and AutoCAD-based products to help you perform raster drawing cleanup, editing and manipulation, raster-to-vector conversion, and image processing. The software helps you to work with imagery in a broad range of industry formats, analyze DEMs (digital elevation models) and multispectral images, and much more. Enabling you to work in the AutoCAD environment, Raster Design virtually eliminates the need to purchase and learn multiple applications. Why should you upgrade or buy Autodesk Raster Design 2007? Here are 10 reasons:

1. Minimize costly redrafting and accelerate drawing revisions with fast and accurate raster-to-vector conversion tools.

Reduce the time to convert your raster drawings to vector with interactive and semiauto­matic conversion tools. Autodesk Raster Design quickly and accurately vectorizes raster primitives such as lines, arcs, and circles. Create and effectively manage hybrid drawings by converting only the necessary raster, thereby speeding up document and drawing revisions and updates. The vectorization follower tools further simplify the process of converting continuous raster entities into AutoCAD polylines, 3D polylines, and Autodesk® Land Desktop contour objects.

2. Streamline your raster editing and drawing cleanup tasks.

Clean your scanned drawings with easy-to-use raster editing and cleanup tools. Use the new “paint-like” Touchup tool to fill gaps and erase fragments in raster drawings. Use powerful REM (raster entity manipulation) tools to edit and create raster geometry. REM capabilities now include the ability to extend, trim, fillet, and offset raster geometry. Use cleanup tools for despeckling, deskewing, and correcting bias to clean, straighten, and improve the overall legibility and quality of the scanned drawings.

3. Work with raster data in formats of your choice.

Autodesk Raster Design supports a broad range of industry-standard image formats, including DOQ, ECW, GeoTIFF, GIF, JPG 2000, MrSID®,  and TIFF. The software also supports additional types of raster data such as DEMs and multispectral imagery. This capability means that Landsat as well as 8- and 11-bit IKONOS satellite imagery are supported in addition to imagery from numerous other vendors. Raster Design 2007 also supports NGA (National Geospatial Agency) DTED (digital terrain elevation model) files used in military and security applications.

4. Use ESRI’s GRID raster format.

Now you can import and work with raster data created in an ESRI® ArcGIS® environment within your Autodesk mapping or civil product using Autodesk Raster Design. Both ASCII GRID and binary GRID formats are supported. Use Raster Design to work with these files as you do with USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) DEM files.

5. Use raster data analysis to make better business decisions.

Create color elevation representations directly from DEM files. Visualize slope and aspect for the information you need to make better design or policy decisions. Show vegetation, land cover, and environmental information using readily available multispectral satellite imagery.

6. Use imagery that is not georeferenced.

Get the most out of inexpensive imagery that contains no georeferencing by rubber­sheeting to align aerial photography with your project. Not only does the Autodesk Raster Design rubbersheeting feature help you to apply different techniques and manage your control points, but the rubbersheeting preview feature shows you how the image will appear after the rubbersheet operation.

7. Create high-quality, eye-popping displays with imagery.

Integrate imagery to improve your project’s appearance. Use color mapping to show different representations of your image data. Apply hill-shading and blending effects for professional presentation results. Create color elevation representations directly from DEM files. Visualize slope and aspect for the information you need to make better design or policy decisions. Show vegetation, land cover, and environmental information using readily available multispectral satellite imagery.

Also, create image snapshots for publishing, word processing, presentation, and other applications. Capture color mapping results from DEMs, multispectral imagery, and other images to improve the visual quality of your work and create more compelling presentations for use and distribution to a wider audience.

8. Enhance your existing image archive.

Get the most out of your raster data with powerful image processing tools in Autodesk Raster Design. The tonal adjustment feature helps you to make nonlinear adjustments for brightness and contrast. For instance, enhance the darker tones while preserving the appearance of mid-tones and lighter colors, and vice versa.

Use the Palette Manager to manipulate individual colors and entire palettes for color images. Select and change a color, combine several color indexes, compress the palette, and import and export palettes. Using the Palette Manager, you can also isolate features, such as contours within maps, by turning everything else to the background color. The Palette Manager improves the overall quality of your image database, providing for more uses of this data across the organization.

9. Adapt existing and new imagery to meet your project requirements.

Use new or reuse existing imagery with a coordinate system different from that used in your current project. Perform coordinate transformations when you receive images with no assigned coordinate system to get the image into your project coordinate system. Coordinate transformations are used to bring spatial data, including imagery, into a common reference system. Do this with all forms of images, including DEMs and multispectral satellite imagery. Also use the raster data query feature to probe your image data, by referencing a coordinate system different from that of your project if necessary. Using coordinate transformations, you can make available imagery adapt to your project requirements, thereby avoiding the need to acquire new imagery and saving you time and money.

10. Use Autodesk Raster Design with industry-leading AutoCAD 2007.

Take advantage of the many timesaving features in AutoCAD and AutoCAD software–based products when working with Autodesk Raster Design. You can be sure that other professionals working in the AutoCAD environment can use the data you create through raster-to-vector conversions and image editing—seamlessly and without any data loss. Shorten learning time and take full advantage of your design staff’s AutoCAD expertise without the pain and cost of training on a new software application.
