New York, NY (9/5/07) Macy’s, Inc. selects New York Document Scanning to perform large format scanning and paper to cad conversion for its flagship 2.2 million-square-foot Herald Square building on 34th Street Manhattan NYC. The use of trained architectural and engineering technicians enables Macys to benefit from quick turnarounds, lower costs and focus on handling core business operations not redrawing old drawings. Commercial real estate is in high demand and the first step in increasing the value of a commercial property is to protect old drawings against damage or loss. Your drawings and blueprints are valuable property and a marketing tool should you decide to sell the property in the future. Scanning your drawings to CD also provides fast and easy retrieval. Large format scanning is the process of converting your documents to electronic format. The files may be viewed, printed and saved to CD/DVD. Document storage to CD saves valuable office space and protects your original drawings for further wear due to handling. CAD conversion is useful for a variety of reasons including mark-ups, creation and submittal of fire plans and construction documents. You may even save money by providing your architect a copy of plans in cad format. In order to edit and update your drawings, the drawings require cad conversion. A CAD draftsman manually re-drafts your old blueprints to a perfect cad file. Your building plans, construction documents, as-built drawings, mechanical, electrical and plumbing drawings can all be converted to AutoCAD.

Why You Should Outsource CAD conversion

Just about everybody in the New York real estate market can benefit from contracting cad drafting services. Outsourcing your project will of course provide cost advantages but you will experience a quality solution to your requirements. The result is a dimensionally correct, accurate working drawing, layered to your specifications. As requested, text is re-typed and drawings are re-scaled 1:1. Specified items are also converted to different layers and colors to conform to your drawing standards. The end result is a CAD file which is identical to the paper drawing and requires no further work. Many companies are outsourcing with quality in mind rather than cost. The most reliable method to convert your drawing to cad format is to manually draft the raster image to cad. Manual CAD conversion is a labor intensive process. Some plans such as electrical or facade details may require 35 hours or more of drafting. This can be done quite inexpensively nowadays thanks to the internet. Your files can be outsourced offshore at low rates and returned to you via email or ftp.
