Questions about redrawing building drawings

Scanned building drawings as PDF, TIFF or image. You can also load DXF and DWG. If several drawings share one sheet, Vecdraft splits it.

Vecdraft is made for Dutch and Flemish building drawings.

That depends on the drawing. A sharp scan with clear lines and dimensions works better than a faint copy. We do not quote a percentage, because it differs from one drawing to the next.

Expect to check every result. The trial shows you what Vecdraft makes of your own drawings.

In the Review step (Nakijken) the program shows you the places it is unsure about, one at a time. For each one you say it is right, adjust it or remove it. You also compare the drawing itself with the scan: are the walls in the right place, are the doors and windows right, were the dimensions taken over correctly.

Vecdraft takes over what is on the drawing. An old drawing is not a survey: the building may have been built differently or altered later. Measure on site what matters.

DXF and DWG with a fixed layer structure, a 3D model and a SketchUp file. The Output page explains what is in them.

The ODA File Converter, a free program from the Open Design Alliance. Vecdraft uses it to read and write DWG. You install it once, next to Vecdraft.

Yes. Vecdraft reads and writes DXF by itself. Most CAD programs open DXF.

On your own computer. Vecdraft keeps scans, redrawn drawings and output there, not with us.

For reading, yes. An AI assistant reads the drawing; for that, the drawing goes through the Vecdraft service to the AI provider. The Vecdraft service does not keep your drawings. It only counts usage per licence.

Those are personal data, and they go along when the drawing is read. You decide which drawings you have read. The arrangements are in the data processing agreement and the privacy statement.

No. The website sets no cookies and keeps no visitor statistics.

Vecdraft is a program for Windows. There is no Mac version and no browser version.

Dutch. The menus, buttons and messages are in Dutch only. Vecdraft is made for Dutch and Flemish building drawings and reads the text and dimensions on them.

For reading a drawing, yes. Review and output work without one. The program checks the licence over the internet now and then, roughly once every two weeks.

You take a licence per workstation, per year, with 40 projects a month. A workstation is one computer. You receive a licence code and activate it in the program.

Yes. You sign the licence off on the old computer and activate it on the new one.

Every computer Vecdraft is used on is a workstation. For more workstations or more projects a month, get in touch.

You request it with your email address and receive an email with a link that is valid for 48 hours. That page shows your licence code and the download. The trial lasts 14 days and covers 3 projects. There is one trial per email address.
