Drawing Scanning Resources/Plan scanning

With Drawing scanning we provide a specialised large format drawings / plan scanning service. Taking the decision to scan and archive all your drawings/plans will minimise the time spent manually searching for them and also maximise valuable office space.

Sizes can range from regular A4 to A0 large format and whether you require black and white scanning or colour scanning for your large drawings we can meet your exact requirements and produce high quality images from large, detailed documents of all sizes.

Which Large Format Documents?

Our hi-spec, large format drawing scanners can scan any of the following drawings/plans:

• Engineering drawings/plans
  
• Housing plans
  
• Building construction drawings
  
• Railways plans
  
• Electrical circuit drawings
  
• Ordnance surveys / maps

Once the drawings/plans are scanned in, all images are enhanced using a enhancing, de-skewing and image cropping process which results in excellent final image quality output from the original scanned drawing/plan, these can be then printed to scale if required. Finally each scanned drawing is inspected once again for its quality prior to its final release.

Drawing Indexing

File indexing helps users to search the drawings by using different categories such as:

• Drawing/plan reference number
  
• Drawing title
  
• Part / tool number
  
• Drawing date
  
• Description
  
• Issue number

File Storage Media

As a rough guide, over 5,000 A0 size drawings can be archived on a standard CD or over 30,000 drawing/plans can fit on one DVD. Whatever form of media you choose, all documents can be accessed easily using an easy search from any PC, laptop or Mac or even copied to a network location for shared access.

CAD Conversion (Raster to Vector)

Our CAD conversion service is a quick, low-cost and efficient way of converting paper drawings into electronic CAD/DWG format.

Pearl Scan offers an expert service (auto & manual drafting) with fixed pricing per drawing scanned and converted. This offers you the flexibility to determine which drawings need to be scanned and it also helps to budget any jobs accordingly. We can produce files in any CAD format which include AutoCAD, (DWG, DXF, Micro Station DGN) and many more electronic formats.

Having these drawings in electronic format enables easy electronic distribution of your drawings/plans along with peace of mind that they are all securely and electronically backed up from any damage or loss as well as offering more space around the office.
