3.  There is no denying the fact that demand for paper to CAD
conversion services is increasing tremendously among AEC
industry as CAD drawings are more beneficial to design and
construction professionals when compared to manual hand
drawings.
 Technical drawings that are created manually by architects
and engineers for a construction project cannot be
communicated quickly to different stakeholders when
compared to CAD drawings.
 As outsourcing industry is growing which a rapid speed the
demand for engineering services is also escalating among
clients.

4.  High end CAD drawings can be developed quickly by CAD
technicians by making use of handmade drawings.
 As soon as AutoCAD is launched by Autodesk it started to be
optimized by AEC professionals for developing digital
drawings which kind of transformed the entire drafting
process.
 Paper to CAD conversion services started getting popularity as
design and construction professionals realized the potential of
CAD drawings in terms of using them for various purposes
such as communicating design intent to clients.

5.  Drawings made on paper cannot be transferred quickly to
clients if they stay far away until and unless they are
personally handover to them. On the other hand CAD drawings
can be mailed electronically to clients within seconds using
internet.
 Now how to convert hand drawings into CAD drawings is the
major question. Well for doing that first manual drawings are
sent by the clients to the services providing company, and the
staff of the company effectively go through these drawing
 These drawings are then scanned and saved into appropriate
file formats that can be read by AutoCAD.

6.  Now technicians of the services providing company are
required to start a new drawing by going to file menu. In the
file menu they should select ‘New’ for creating a fresh drawing.
 Now technicians can import the drawing that is saved by them
after scanning. For doing so they should use the import option
that is available in the File Menu.
 Once the drawing is successfully imported in AutoCAD,
technicians should then create a layer which can be applied to
the drawing for tracing it. Once the drawing is imported in the
software necessary modification can be implemented on it by
technicians after tracing the elements.

7.  Afterwards they should establish a scale for the drawing by
using measurement tool. With the help of this tool drawing can
be effectively measured by technicians and this measurement
can be applied to the AutoCAD drawing which they are
creating.
 In this way accurate CAD drawings can be developed by
technicians simply by measuring the hand drawings with the
help of effective AutoCAD tools.
