Treesoft Cad Converter Image Import Module

Additional module for importing raster graphics for editing/revision in the Electrocad system

Do you want to digitize and archive existing plans and are looking for a way to make minor changes to the scanned circuit diagrams? Or do you want to import the architect’s drawings so you can then draw in the electrical installation? Then this add-on module is just what you need. 

Using the image import module, you can open scanned circuit diagrams or floor plans in the Treesoft CAD converter as single or batch imports and scale them to the correct size. These can then be converted into a Treesoft ZNG file as a background image (raster graphic). You can then edit them graphically in Treesoft CAD, add symbols, and archive them permanently. This makes revising old plans a breeze.

Determine scaling

When you import an image of a floor plan, you must define a reference dimension before editing. Find a known dimension in the image and use the scaling function to position two measuring points with a mouse click.
