New VPindex/VPindex lite Version 4
Munich, Mai 16 2011:
VPindex has been released in a new version 4 while the new VPindex lite offers a functional and economic product alternative.
VPindex V4 provides more flexibility and easier handling to capture, process, index and archive legacy scan drawings or CAD files. The software mainly manages to record index data from drawing title blocks or from any other position found across the documents. Relevant text or numerical content can be captured by built-in OCR support, including barcode and checkbox interpretation. All recorded index data will be organized in individually defined field sets for seamless export into a database or into a document management system.
As part of an indexing process documents may also be automatically cleaned, rotated or calibrated to standard paper formats. Updated documents will be sent directly to the target archive. Automatic file renaming provides an option for definite, unique document identification. New file names can be generated by using any of the recorded index content.
VPindex supports various image file formats, .pdf, .dxf and .dwg for processing and export. Finalized documents may also be converted automatically to a desired uniform archive format. Single and multi-page file support is available for import and export. The VPindex standard version additionally includes extensive functions to comfortably edit, revise or enhance the content of single drawing documents.
Workflow steps are set up individually for an automatic or interactive process mode. All process settings will be saved and are easily accessible for repeated use or for adaptations to following tasks at any time.
As an application alternative, VPindex lite is designed to capture, clean, index and archive documents only in interactive mode, meaning that documents need to be reviewed and confirmed one after another once they are compiled for a process batch. With only limited cleanup functions available VPindex lite will still record and export index data as the standard version.

New VPHybridCAD Version 11
Munich, October 29 2010:
softelec has just released a new Version 11 of its VPHybridCAD software for editing and converting scanned technical drawings. VPHybridCAD V11 now supports all AutoCAD versions from 2004 to 2011. All VPHybridCAD products also support the 64bit versions of AutoCAD 2010 and 2011 making use of expanded memory and performance. For stand-alone operation VPHybridCAD V11 products now run on Windows 7, XP, and Vista in full 64bit mode. With a number of new and re-designed functions and features VPHybridCAD V11 continues to provide seamless access to scanned technical documents, either for detailed revisions with direct hybrid editing tools, or for complete automatic vector conversion.
For all VPHybridCAD products, such as VPraster and VPstudio, PDF file import has been largely expanded. While most variations of PDF files with embedded raster images are supported, even PDF data containing vector data can be loaded and handled. A PDF/A export format option for long-term file storage has also been added.
Aside from a variety of internal refinements, such as optional raster selection limited to element intersections, symbol search recognition has been enhanced to also work on legacy DXF or DWG drawings. The function automatically converts recurrent groups of entities into blocks with attributes for unified handling, administration or replacement. This is especially helpful for legacy CAD drawings which are missing block structures, like electrical symbols, assembly components, windows, doors, furniture etc.
