VPHybridCAD family

Vectorization, Raster editing, Color conversion

VPHybridCAD represents a line of five internationally awarded software solutions, with a success story of more than 20 years:

• VPstudio -
  This is the ultimate top level software product for raster editing, hybrid processing, and vector conversion. Full B&W, graylevel, and color support will literally cover any option you can think of to process, optimize, or convert technical raster images. In this respect VPstudio has been setting the world standard for many years already.
• VPstudio mono -
  This is the budget equivalent to VPstudio's full feature list limited to B&W raster processing only. For additional color processing see VPstudio.
• VPlite -
  This is the budget equivalent to VPstudio mono features list limited to maximum original paper sizes of A 2 (C size). For additional color functions, calibration, vector-to-raster, batch processing, or drawing assembly see VPstudio or VPstudio mono.
• VPraster -
  A full raster and hybrid solution which goes far beyond standard functions. Stunning raster object editing in direct mode, incl. raster text revisions,  accuracy paper format calibration, interactive line following, rasterization, and color reduction/separation are among a multitude of options of this truly professional image editing tool. For additional automatic raster-to-vector conversion and color vectorization see VPstudio mono or VPstudio.
• VPraster edit
  A budget raster and hybrid editor for fast image clean-up, corrections, and scaling, including AutoCAD hybrid file format support with Raster DWG. For additional direct raster object editing, color functions, geo-transformation, vector-to-raster, or drawing assembly see VPraster.

All VPHybridCAD solutions are designed to efficiently process legacy technical drawings in CAD or documentation applications.

VPHybridCAD are world class software solutions for high-quality vectorization and fast hybrid scan editing. With a stunning technology approach they seamlessly combine image processing and CAD technology. Excellent product quality and intuitive handling are supporting many thousand users around the globe to improve, revise and convert scan drawings with less effort.

VPHybridCAD software solutions offer complete automatic raster-to-vector conversion (vectorization) and a unique hybrid editing technology. The hybrid editor tools allow simultaneous access to scanned raster and vector data. You will be able carry out revisions or subsequent design work in drawing scans directly and accurately. With just a mouse click even geometric details such as lines, circles, arcs and text become instantly available as actual elements to be handled with CAD precision.
