Transforming Legacy Paper Drawings into Intelligent CAD Assets

Client Profile

The client is a US-Based Architectural & Engineering Services Company.

The client maintained a large archive of paper-based engineering and architectural drawings accumulated over several decades. Accessing, updating, and sharing these documents had become increasingly difficult, creating inefficiencies during renovation projects, facility upgrades, and maintenance.

The Challenge

Many of the source documents were available only as aging paper prints, low-resolution scanned images, and marked-up drawings. Variations in drawing quality, handwritten annotations, and inconsistent standards made the conversion process complex and time-consuming.

The client required a partner capable of delivering high-volume conversions while preserving structural dimensions and maintaining strict turnaround schedules.

The Solution

InfoTech established a dedicated CAD conversion team to digitize and recreate existing drawings into organized, fully editable CAD formats. The engagement included:

CAD Conversion Services

• Paper-to-CAD manual redrafting ensuring dimension logic.
• Raster-to-vector drafting and vector cleanup.
• Recreation of architectural floor plans and mechanical sections.
• Layer structuring and CAD standardization matching client specifications.
• Incorporation of handwritten markups and field corrections.
• Double-check validation for dimensional verification.

Project Impact

The digitization initiative enabled the client to create a centralized digital drawing library that significantly improved facility management.
