ZWSOFT, a reliable all-in-one CAx solutions provider, today announced the release of ZWVectorization Tool, an add-on developed by itself that converts images to DWG files automatically, saving time and money.
ZWVectorization Tool is an easy-to-use plugin that converts raster images to DWG drawings quickly and accurately. With this tool, you can easily convert scanned or hand-drawn legacy drawings into editable, high-quality DWG drawings, saving you significant time and money spent on manual redrawing.
Highlights of ZWVectorization Tool:
- Convert images (JPG/PNG/TIF) to DWG with one click.
- Convert text in images to text objects.
- Offer modification tools (Merge, Connect and Break) to fine-tune converted results.
- Objects can be automatically created in different layers according to their types (lines, polylines, arcs, circles, text) after conversion.
- Support parameter configuration to meet different project requirements.
- Support images up to 20000 x 20000 pixels.
“We found many of our customers spent considerable time and money turning their scanned or paper drawings to DWG files by manually redrawing them or outsourcing, so we developed this plugin to automate the task and help them save time and costs,” said Elaine Zhu, Go-to-market Manager at ZWSOFT. “This tool can handle many common drawings, including topographic maps, BOMs, floor plans and mechanical drawings. It will bring convenience to a wide range of industries such as surveying and planning, mechanical design and furniture design.”
Elaine also provided her insights about the positioning of ZWSOFT-developed add-ons, “We see ZWCAD as a general-purpose CAD tool and that is why we developed the vectorization tool as a plugin to keep ZWCAD lightweight. Our plugins will focus more on basic functions for specific industries while our eco-partners can provide more advanced and comprehensive functions for them. And together, we deliver complete industry solutions for our customers.”
ZWVectorization Tool is compatible with ZWCAD 2025 Professional and ZWCAD MFG 2025.
