VectoSolve's AI converts scanned architectural drawings, engineering blueprints, and hand-drawn plans into precise vector files. Upload any scan and get clean DXF/SVG output ready for AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, and all major CAD software. Save hours of manual retracing.

## How it works

1. **Upload your scan** — Drag & drop any scanned blueprint, floor plan, or hand-drawn sketch. PNG, JPG, TIFF accepted. Works with old blueprints, field sketches, or whiteboard photos.
2. **AI traces the drawing** — Our AI identifies lines, walls, dimensions, and symbols. Creates clean vector paths with proper line weights. Removes scan artifacts for clean, traceable output.
3. **Download & import to CAD** — Get your SVG or DXF file and import directly into AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Vectorworks, or ArchiCAD. Clean vectors mean faster CAD editing and less manual retracing.

## FAQ

### Can I import VectoSolve output into AutoCAD?
Yes! VectoSolve outputs standard SVG and DXF files that import directly into AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, and all Autodesk products. The clean vector paths maintain proper line weights and are ready for editing, dimensioning, and further CAD work.

### Will it work with old, faded blueprints?
Yes. Our AI is trained to handle low-contrast scans, faded ink, and aged paper. It enhances edges and reconstructs lines even from poor-quality scans. For best results, scan at 300+ DPI with even lighting.

### Can I convert hand-drawn sketches from site visits?
Absolutely. Take a clear photo of your field sketch or whiteboard drawing, upload it, and the AI will create clean vector paths. Perfect for converting rough site measurements into CAD-ready drawings.

### Does it recognize architectural symbols (doors, windows)?
VectoSolve traces the visual elements as vector paths. It creates accurate geometric representations of architectural symbols. While it doesn't generate CAD blocks, the clean vectors make it easy to replace traced symbols with standard CAD blocks in your software.

### How accurate is the vectorization for construction documents?
On a clean, high-contrast scan the trace follows the drawn lines closely: they are straightened, angles normalized and curves smoothed. But treat every dimension as unverified until you check it. This is a tracing tool, not a measurement tool, and a page that has been printed and rescanned rarely matches its nominal scale. Measure one edge you know the true size of in your CAD software and rescale the whole drawing by that ratio before you cut anything.

### How much does it cost?
One annual plan unlocks everything — $49/year (just $4.08/mo): 300 conversions/year with unused credits rolling over, every niche mode, all export formats, batch convert, and a commercial-use license. Try any conversion free first — you only pay when you're ready. At $200+/hour for architect time, one conversion pays for itself many times over.

### What CAD software is compatible?
VectoSolve outputs work with all major CAD software: AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Vectorworks, ArchiCAD, Rhino, BricsCAD, DraftSight, and more. Standard SVG/DXF formats ensure universal compatibility.

### Can I convert multiple pages of a blueprint set?
Yes! Upload and convert each scanned page one at a time — each conversion takes just 2-5 seconds. Unused credits roll over from month to month, so you can work through an entire blueprint set at your own pace. Each page becomes a separate vector file ready for CAD import.
