In the early days of large format scanner technology, there weren’t a lot of options, and most of what was available was very expensive. The first large format scanners were black and white only. There was no color scanning capability. In the early 1990’s color scanners were introduced and gradually, throughout the ensuing years, scanning technology has improved and scanner costs have come down, until today, nearly anyone who needs to scan large format documents can find a scanner that will do the job he needs to be done at a price he can afford to pay.

So, what do you do with all of your legacy 2D CAD drawings now that you’re doing so much in a 3D design system, such as Revit, Solid Works, CATIA, or another 3D program? And how do you incorporate 2D design, since 2D drafting is still widely in use?
