CADnet allows users to create CAD from non-CAD documents such as PDFs, raster images, and paper plans, and to import or export BIM models into CAD. Additionally, CADnet can generate CAD text from raster images.

Key features include:

  • Import PDF Files
  • Import BIM from Revit and IFC Files into a drawing
  • A BIM properties pane allows you to select visibility for different categories in the model
  • Create points from the BIM model components for use in Carlson SurvCE/SurvPC/Layout
  • Export Carlson surface to BIM using IFC Files
  • Convert Raster images to vector CAD entities
  • Modify Raster images using cut, copy, remove speckles and thicken commands
  • Create CAD entities from the raster image using Trace functions and raster snaps
  • Create text entities extracted from the raster images
  • Digitize from paper plans or on-screen images
  • Full set of digitize routines for points, polylines, areas, contours, profiles, sections and end-areas
