Treesoft CAD Converter Image Import Module

Add-on module for importing raster graphics for editing/revision in the Elektrocad 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 architectural drawings so you can then draw in the electrical installation? Then this add-on module is exactly what you need. 

Using the image import module, you can open images of scanned circuit diagrams or floor plans in the Treesoft CAD Converter—either as individual or batch imports—and scale them to the correct scale. These images 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 reviewing old plans a breeze.

Determine the scale

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