DIGITIZING  - VECTOR FILE

PRICE LIST
Effective Jan. 1st, 2001
Prices subject to change without notice.

1. Automatic Conversion from Raster to Vector File. All entities are
on layer 0. Text is vectorized only. The end-result is a DXF file. We also
provide a scan of your layout as a TIFF, CCITTG4, 1 BIT file format.

2. Automatic Conversion from Raster to Vector File Format + Manual
Vector Editing and All Text is Erased. Besides services listed in #1,
we straighten the layout, remove unwanted dots and edit lines.
Conversion software will convert dots (or pixels) that form an image into
entities called polylines. We then modify these polylines into arcs, lines,
circles and we order them on their respective layer, as you specify. All
text is erased. The file is saved as an AutoCad, v. 14 or 2000 file. For 
quantity larger than 20 of the same series, we create a cartridge following
your specifications.

  PRICING ON DEMAND ONLY.

3. Automatic Conversion from Raster to Vector File + Manual Vector
and Text Editing. Besides services listed in #1 and 2, we edit all text and
validate dimensioning.  

  PRICING ON DEMAND ONLY.

IMPORTANT

You save time by processing your raster files (TIF) into vector files
(DXF), but be aware that the results may vary. To modify a raster file
into vectors, software translates dots into lines. No matter what software
you use, errors are frequent because it can only approximate the type of
object, whether it's a line or a circle or an arc. Errors are thus created.
You will have to correct and validate all the data contained in a vector
file after converting it from raster file.
