    MicroStation I/RAS B Engineer Functionality's General Workflow 

    The Engineer Tools, now available in MicroStation I/RAS B, offer a real solution to the challenge of converting existing engineering, manufacturing, and facilities drawings. It streamlines and accelerates the conversion/vectorization process.

    Below are the steps involved for a general workflow to take a hard copy of a drawing and produce a file that represents the original data in vector format.

     

    1. Select the drawing for your input data.
    2. Scan the drawing at 200-400 dpi.
    3. Clean up and prepare the raster file for conversion using I/RAS B.
      • Speckle Remove and SAVE
      • Hole Fill and SAVE
      • Smooth and SAVE
      • Apply any other raster modifications
    4. Convert the raster file using I/RAS Engineer
      • Configure viewing environment using View > Preferences > Quick Zoom
      • Set Raster Separation and Raster Snap parameters
      • Create cell/terminator libraries and symbology sets
      • Begin the vectorization process and SAVE periodically
    5. Plot the drawing (either via MicroStation Plotting or InterPlot) or enter the converted data into the next software application.
