Unlock the value of existing data with the MEDUSA4™ colour raster module
MEDRaster Colour is a MEDUSA4 module which allows you to incorporate, edit and store colour and monochrome raster data in your designs, and provides combined raster and vector data support. MEDRaster Colour unlocks the value of your existing (often legacy) drawings and non-CAD data, adding new breadth to the information conveyed by your designs, while bringing external raster images up to date and under control within your PLM environment.
Product Overview
Even in today’s high-tech environment, analysts estimate that two out of three designs still exist in paper format. Many companies hold a wealth of paper drawings, stored in archives or drawers, or - increasingly common - scanned as raster images, largely uncontrolled and difficult to use, often leading to the decision to start completely from scratch with new electronic designs, at considerable expense. MEDRaster Colour lets you close the gap between partial and complete automation of the design process, by allowing you to easily integrate and store non-CAD data and scanned paper-based drawings in your existing database, immediately making valuable ideas, designs and data available again.
Convey it in Colour
Advances in technology have made colour drawing production increasingly common. MEDRaster Colour is ideal for using maps, 3D coloured images or photographs as part of a drawing, easily conveying important supplementary information.
How Does It Work?
MEDRaster Colour converts scanned paper drawings or vector graphics to raster data, which can then be deployed as a raster background in the vector environment of a MEDUSA sheet, ensuring consistent integration of raster and vector graphics. Its binary compatible format means that the raster data can be distributed between workstations and PCs. This is of particular interest in environments where designs are tested or drawings are viewed, changed, or provided with additional comments on diverse platforms. Several raster images can be loaded, edited and managed separately or merged as a single new image directly in MEDRaster Colour.
Features and Benefits
Software Requirements
Platforms Supported
 |
| Easily incorporate supplementary information, such as colour maps, in your designs |
| Do you have a large investment in existing designs or non-CAD data, in paper or image formats? |
|
| Do you get paper or electronic image data from your customers? |
|
| Do you spend many hours redrawing it, simply to make additions or small modifications? |
