Migrate Your Paper, Film, and Aperture Card Archives to a Digital Print Room Repository with ScanDEX-IX
ScanDEX-IX is a scanning, indexing, archiving and distribution system for vast document repositories. With ScanDEX-IX you can scan your images, store and index them in a database with an unlimited number of fields for easy retrieval. Your images are stored as files in sub-directories named by index field values, i.e. project numbers. Various indexing features are included: Automatically loads images to be indexed, automatically zooms to area on image for each field, use of default values and macros, etc. ScanDEX-IX supports multiple scanners on a single workstation to speed up the archiving process. Multi-page management is also supported.

ScanDEX-IX works in three modes: Design, Insert and Query.

In Design mode you can define your database and index fields. You can link fields to areas in the image and you can create macros to help simplify and automate the indexing process.

In Insert mode you control the attached scanner(s), via direct device interface or virtual disk scanner, and perform the indexing with help from the system. Feed the scanner and index later, or index while you scan – the choice is yours. If you have Aperture Cards with Hollerith punch codes, then the indexing can be done automatically. You only need to feed the Aperture Card scanner(s).

In Query mode you can work with the archive. There is a user-friendly browser with a quickview facility where you can view the contents of the archive. You can search for records that fulfill specific criteria, make changes to your archive, version records and design your own queries.

Browser Based Sharing with Search, View and Print Tool
Imagine enabling every person in your department with the ability to find, see, and print any document they need at any time and at any place. The ScanDEX-IX web browser-based Scan Controller unleashes the power of internetworking, database connectivity, and document rendering, allowing easy quality control of your entire archive.

Automated Document Indexing using Text Zones and OCR
The ScanDEX-IX document indexing module loads documents into databases using the fastest methods and using as few steps as possible. Text zones can be defined within title blocks to capture attribute data using OCR, or manually using “heads-up” data entry. Batch document processing such as alignment, rotation, cleanup de-speckling, mirroring and inversion can be performed automatically during the indexing process using macro definitions.

Archive Projects to CD and DVD
ScanDEX-IX allows you to be accountable by permitting publishing of self-contained CD and DVD archives of your projects with embedded search, view, and print tools. This allows the document data to behave on the disc the way it did when it was on line. This is a great idea for long-time storage of projects and documents that are no longer required to be on-line, or for the distribution and delivery of document data to remote parties, instead of overnight shipment of heavy paper prints.

Not Just TIFF
ScanDEX-IX supports many document file formats. Does your company have just TIFF files? Probably not. ScanDEX-IX supports the kinds of files you already have on file like PDF, Office documents, DWF, DWG, DGN, Adobe PhotoShop, Mr. SID and JPEG-2000 formats just to name a few.

Supports Native CAD, Office, and Imaging Formats
Because ScanDEX-IX supports native document and imaging file formats, there is no costly publishing procedure when posting a file. Files are simply indexed into an archive repository with document attribute data.

Share Costly Wide Format Network Printers and Plotters
Anyone in your company will be able to quickly assemble a document set and submit to a network printer or plotter. ScanDEX-IX even collates the job with the first page on top and the last page on the bottom of the stack eliminating costly sorting time at the document output tray of the printer.

Open Microsoft Access Database
ScanDEX-IX runs on a familiar Microsoft Access database making it easy to implement and achieve maximum efficiency. Expand to SQL Server or Oracle, when the time is right.

Run Multiple Databases
ScanDEX-IX does not restrict your application to one single vault or repository. You can setup a number of document database archives with no imposed limit on number of records or number of fields. When designing the creation of your archive database, you can determine what field attribute information is captured, or use a standard template for your type of industry. Archive databases can reside on the ScanDEX-IX host workstation or on a network file server.

OCR Module
The Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Module is an add-on to ScanDEX-IX. With the OCR package and with the index fields linked to areas in the image you can extract the text into the fields manually or automatically. The OCR Package enables you to fully automate the scanning, indexing and storing of your drawings and documents.

Scan2Plan
With ScanDEX-IX you can scan directly to your Plan Room in real time. Scanning and indexing project documents have never been easier. Upgradeable to Enterprise Document Management and Plan Room Applications Extend your document management application to your partners or your business community by upgrading when the time is right. ScanDEX-IX upgrade modules are available that add notification, communication, and even credit card transaction processing capabilities to your ScanDEX-IX solution.

Easy Setup and Implementation Means Quick ROI
ScanDEX-IX can be installed, functional, connected to your data and your key people trained in less than a day. Our training programs allow you to select the appropriate method and amount of time that fit your budget and schedule, whether on-site or on-line.

Low Cost of Ownership
Our flexible licensing models, subscription options, and financing programs make ScanDEX-IX the easy choice to document enable a department or your entire organization.

What is WiseImage
WiseImage is a basic hybrid drawing editor. Hybrid drawings consist of monochrome, grayscale, and color raster images overlaid with vector elements. Multiple raster images can be loaded and the number of raster images handled simultaneously is unlimited. WiseImage allows you to edit and update scanned maps, drawings, sketches, and other graphics. With WiseImage you can:
  • Color separation tool for separating color on various layers for easy raster editing
  • Clean up raster noise through a selection of filters including smoothing, thickening and thinning, speckle removal, and hole filling
  • Edit raster symbols with the raster object selection feature that enables you to select raster lines, arcs, and circles using tools similar to those for vector selection.
  • Create raster copies of vector objects and add them to the raster image.
All of these features are easy to use. WiseImage runs outside of AutoCAD and doesn't require a CAD manager to use the software.

Works with Color and Grayscale Raster Images
WiseImage allows you to crop color and grayscale raster images, change their resolution and scale, deskew them, and eliminate linear and non linear deformations using the calibration feature. A user can easily manage the colors of the image and create/edit LUT files in the Color Classifier or can perfectly operate with blueprints (scanned in grayscale mode) by a specific tool - Adaptive Binarization.

You can change brightness, contrast, hue and saturation, adjust the color gamut of image using a histogram, improve image quality and apply a set of color filters (Blur, Unsharp, Mask, Median, Gamma Correction). With WiseImage, you can draw on these images and create raster objects by rasterizing vector objects to color raster, and merge monochrome raster images with color ones.

New Tracing Capabilities
WiseImage has an advanced tracing function (semi-automatic, interactive raster to vector conversion) for color and grayscale images.

WiseImage Pro allows you to crop color and grayscale raster images, change their resolution and scale, deskew them, and eliminate linear and non linear deformations using the calibration feature. You can change brightness, contrast, hue and saturation, adjust the color gamut of image using a histogram, improve image quality and apply a set of color filters (Blur, Unsharp, Mask, Median). With WiseImage Pro, you can draw on these images and create raster objects by rasterizing vector objects to color raster, and merge monochrome raster images with color ones.

New Tracing Capabilities
WiseImage Pro has an advanced tracing function (semi-automatic, interactive raster to vector conversion) for color and grayscale images. In addition to simple graphic object tracing in WiseImage Pro, you can now trace raster shapes that correspond to vecor templates. Select a raster shape and WiseImage will recognize it and match it to the appropriate vector object from the loaded symbol (block) library or a customized library designed by you to match your requirements. The polyline tracing feature has a new auto-detection of tracing direction. For instance, if you have not chosen a direction during a specified waiting interval, then the program will continue tracing in the automatically defined direction by itself.

Automatic Raster to Vector Conversion
WiseImage Pro enables the conversion of scanned drawings to CAD files one by one or in a batch mode, even overnight. This conversion feature allows precise tuning to achieve the most accurate vector representation of the source files. Or, it can be done on-the-fly bya new "R2V Controls" toolbar. The original line styles, widths, text height and hatch styles are preserved. The result of the vectorization consists of lines, polylines, arcs, circles, text and shapes (blocks). WiseImage Pro has a built-in OCR feature (use with optional external ABBYY FineReader OCR plug-in) that recognizes text strings at any angle on a drawing.

Vector Enhancement Tools
WiseImage Pro has a comprehensive set of tuning tools for auto-correction of vectors obtained after raster to vector conversion. There are specialized functions for editing vectors such as merging a group of vectors to the object of a given type (some segments to an arc or circle), cropping, extension, etc. One very powerful tool is Vector Object Search and Replace, which works on vectors (CAD files). For example, it is possible to find and replace all fasteners on mechanical drawings or all windows and doors on a floor plan with standard symbols.

Flexible User Interface
WiseImage Pro gives users the ultimate flexibility by allowing them to create their working environment for the software by altering the layout or removing unnecessary commands and buttons. With WiseImage Pro users can configure their own toolbars and menus. WiseImage Pro runs under Windows 98, NT 4.0, 2000, ME, XP. WiseImage Pro runs outside of AutoCAD and doesn’t require a CAD manager to use the software.

All of these features are easy to use. WiseImage runs inside of AutoCAD.

Works with Color and Grayscale Raster Images
WiseImage Pro allows you to crop color and monochrome raster images, change their resolution and scale, deskew them, and eliminate linear and non linear deformations using the calibration feature. You can change brightness, contrast, hue and saturation, adjust the color gamut of image using a histogram, improve image quality and apply a set of color filters (Blur, Unsharp, Mask, Median). With WiseImage Pro, you can draw on these images and create raster objects by rasterizing vector objects to color raster, and merge monochrome raster images with color ones. This new version of WiseImage Pro has a tracing function (semi-automatic, interactive raster to vector conversion) for color and grayscale images.

New Tracing Capabilities
To Convert a raster symbol, line, arc, circle or outline to a vector object, a user only has to pick a point on the source raster object. The tracing mode can be set to retain, delete or smooth the original raster object. WiseImage can also recognize raster hatches and trace arbitrary raster curves by AutoCAD polylines. When tracing polylines, the program can automatically define the most probable trace direction.

Automatic Raster to Vector Conversion
When applying automatic vectorization, the user needs to set recognition parameters before starting the procedure. WiseImage for AutoCAD recognizes and converts to corresponding vector objects raster lines, arcs, circles, symbols, points, polylines, outlines and hatches. The program recognizes raster line types, widths, and dimension arrows. The results of the automatic vectorization ofter require further correction - this can be done automatically with tools that will merge vector fragments, create orthogonal lines, and round objects wiedths to specific values. Resulting vector objects can then be separated by weight, AutoCAD layers and color. During automatic raster to vector conversion, WiseImage for AutoCAD converts raster texts to AutoCAD text entities. It is also possible to convert raster texts to polylines or outlines. The program can be easily taught to recognize new text characters. You can also use external OCR modules.
