New VPHybridCAD V10 Release Sets Standards for Scans

By DE Editors

softelec (Munich, Germany) released Version 10 of its VPHybridCAD software for editing and converting scanned technical drawings. VPHybridCAD V10 now supports all AutoCAD versions from 2004 to 2009 and complies with the new AutoCAD 2009 ribbon-style user interface.

With a collection of new and re-designed functions and features for operation inside AutoCAD and in stand-alone mode VPHybridCAD V10 sets the highest standards for professional processing and conversion of scanned technical documents.

For all VPHybridCAD products, such as VPraster and VPstudio, PDF file import has been largely expanded. While most variations of PDF files with embedded raster images are supported, even PDF data containing vector elements can now be loaded and handled inside the VP software.

In addition to a variety of internal refinements for text editing, element combination and line style treatment the symbol-search module has been completely re-designed. It now provides a simplified setup to automatically detect and replace symbols blocks in raster or hybrid drawings.

While complying with AutoCAD's 2009 ribbon-style interface VPHybridCAD V10 users can now also make use of the CUI file support in former AutoCAD versions, allowing for seamless toolbar handling inside AutoCAD.
