If you need to place one of our floor plans on your web site, or insert into any desktop publishing or word processing document, you will need a graphics-format file of the drawing. The CAD files themselves are in what is called "vector format". That is, they basically consist of a series of lines, circles and polygons. This is what a CAD program works with, and is capable of manipulating each of these items individually. However, what is required on the Internet, or in any word processor, is a "graphics format" file, such as a bitmap (BMP), or more likely a JPG, GIF, or TIFF format file. These can be created by scanning the hardcopy produced by the CAD program, but scanning is a mechanical process, and will never result in a "clean" image.

All of our drawings are plotted in PDF format, from which all hardcopy is produced. With every project, PDF files are delivered on CD at no extra charge, along with the original CAD files. PDF files have become the industry standard, due to their printer-independence. Viewing PDFs on screen results in imagery as sharp as the original hard-copy prints, with full pan and zoom capability.

Features:

• PDF, JPG, GIF, TIFF.
  
• High-resolution, no "noise" as with scanning
  
• Can be resized by any of todays common graphics editors
  
• Delivered on CD in our Building Report
• Easily emailed if required
