This means that you’ll be able to work collaboratively on your designs, no matter what software your fellow designers use. With Scan2CAD, it’s easy to convert to DXF from one of a number of raster file types, as well as other vector formats. In this section, learn all about how to convert to DXF.
When it comes to DXF conversion, you want it to be as quick and painless as possible. After all, the CAD/CNC file you require should only be a few mouse clicks away. In most cases, just following our quick guide to…
Want to convert a file to DXF file format? With its ability to be used across different CAD programs, it’s easy to see why it’s so popular. You might not know, however, that converting files to DXF is a breeze. So…
PNG images are one of the most popular image types on the Internet. It’s the file format of choice when it comes to sharing photos and images; this is because the PNG file format supports lossless data compression and maintains the…
A collaborative design process can involve sharing CAD drawings with many other people, including those using different CAD programs to you. To bridge that gap, many CAD designers and drafters resort to sharing drawings via PDF. The PDF format allows comments,…
Converting PDF to DXF is a common task for CAD hobbyists and professionals. Just consider how many PDF files are shared throughout the CAD world; or hard-copy sketches scanned and saved as PDF. In order to edit the elements of the…
Raster to vector file conversion software can save precious hours of your time: instead of creating a vector image from scratch, click a few buttons and let the software convert the image to DXF – in a matter of seconds! However, the…
It’s incredibly common to receive PDF files from clients, especially since it’s the most popular format used for sharing in the design industry. It is equally common to have hard-copy versions of a drawing or a hand-drawn sketch, which you scan…
PDF files are commonly used throughout the design world. It is the format of choice for document exchange, especially since it is compatible with all devices. However, it is not easy to edit the elements of the PDF file. Enter PDF-to-DXF…

Suppose you have an archive of great images that you’d like to edit using CAD software. You probably have them saved as raster image files on your computer (such as JPEG or PNG), or even stashed hard-copy versions of that drawing…
On this blog, we’ve previously discussed many different aspects of the DXF file format. This article is our first in a new section covering the ins and outs of DXF conversion. In this section, we’ll be discussing everything from how vectorization software works to…
One of the most popular questions that come our way is “why should I use DXF?” The short answer is: for everything and anything related to drawings. One of the most magical reasons of the DXF’s existence is to exchange files…
JPG is one of the most familiar file formats around, used in online graphics and digital photography and by millions worldwide. In fields like engineering and architecture, however, formats like JPG can be a liability—bringing in a realm of problems in…
In design and engineering, raster images like BMP can be rather problematic: they lose quality when scaled, and they cannot be edited using CAD software. To avoid these issues, users can convert their BMPs to a vector format like DXF instead. This conversion…
