Autodesk Recap and AutoCAD Raster Design included in Autodesk Suites

No need to start from scratch in designing.  With Autodesk recap, you can bring in the actual job site or  product through the laser scan or digital image to start with points, then add, modify, validate and document from there.
Another addition in most Suites is AutoCAD Raster Design.  This powerful vector conversion software will allow you to take advantage of raster images, maps, aerial photos, satellite imagery, and digital elevation models by enabling you to edit, enhance and maintain scanned drawings or plans.
