The 2022 Raster toolset is included with AutoCAD

Use raster design tools in a specialized toolset to edit scanned drawings and convert raster images to DWG™ objects.

With the Raster Design toolset, you can:

  • Access tools to enhance image editing and cleanup

  • Use standard AutoCAD commands on raster regions and primitives with Raster Entity Manipulation (REM)

  • Make use of vectorization tools to simplify your workflows

*Productivity data based on a series of studies commissioned by Autodesk to an outside consultant. The seven toolset studies compared basic AutoCAD to the specialized toolsets within AutoCAD when performing tasks commonly done by experienced AutoCAD users. As with all performance tests, results may vary based on machine, operating system, filters, and even source material. While every effort has been made to make the tests as fair and objective as possible, your results may differ. Product information and specifications are subject to change without notice.
