    Comments

    Jeff Bartels of Autodesk covers the AutoCAD Raster Design OCR Text conversion of a legal description from a scan image.
    From the Jeff's YouTube Channel.
    and the Civil Imersion blog.

    Covered are the basics of greyscale to bitonal image type conversion in Raster Design.
    Jeff demos some of the "Conversion with your Brain Engaged" tools that are so useful in and about Raster Design.
    If you have a newer version of Microsoft Office (there are other apps) the spoken check at the end is more the useful fun too.

    Clean Up a Bitonal Image of a Scanned Detail

    Comments

    Jeff Bartels of Autodesk covers the quick and the dead (basic but effective) of AutoCAD Raster Design cleanup of a scanned detail.
    From the Civil Imersion blog.

    I used to call Raster Design - "The Long Goodbye to the Sticky Back". A lot of drafting folks might remember those. Yuck!
    Important but not said...if the image is a greyscale tif (your file type may vary) you must first convert it to bitonal. Easy in Raster Design.
