ARCHIVING

Large drawings/documents - TLS&EC scans large-sized paper drawings, blueprints, mechanical drawings, schematic drawings, contour maps, aerial photos, etc.; digitizes the data for computer use; and, stores the data onto CDs. Our services focus on quality scanning to assure the best final product.

TLS&EC has the right solution to meet your particular needs !

We scan all large format documents (aerial photos, architectural drawings, mechanical drawings, quad maps, contour maps, etc.) with the most accurate scanner available. All scanned data is saved digitally as a raster file (tiff uncompressed, tiff compressed, .bmp, .jpg, .gif, etc.) and stored to a CD. (1 CD has 650 MB of memory.) 1 CD can hold over 1,000 large drawings!

CD ARCHIVING CAN DO ALL THIS:

FAST, EASY ACCESS - convenient desk-side, at-your-finger-tips, storage. 

TIME/MONEY SAVER - no wasted time looking for drawings (time is money!).

ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION -paper drawings stored in raster file format allow fast and expedient transmission, electronically. Easy to share data.

SAFE-KEEPING - second set can be easily stored away to keep safe from fire/flood hazards.

DELICATE/DAMAGED DRAWING PROTECTION - over-used drawings can become damaged or old drawings may be brittle; protect them with CD storage.

QUICK VIEWING AND PRINTOUTS - CD data can be viewed quickly on almost any computer viewing program and easily printed out (11x17 print is usually legible for size D/E drawings). 

SPACE SAVER - no cumbersome storage space required for paper documentation is necessary!

EASY-TO-CARRY - put over 1,000 drawings in your brief case!

RASTER-TO-VECTOR CONVERSION

Paper File Formats to CAD File Formats (for CAD users) - TLS&EC converts large-sized paper documents (i.e., mechanical drawings, blueprints, schematic drawings, contour maps, etc.) to CAD (Computer-Aided Design) formats (.dwg, .dxf). We provide a wide range of vector solutions to best meet your needs.

TLS&EC CONVERTS TWO MAJOR TYPES OF FILE FORMATS: RASTER.....PAPER DOCUMENTS (i.e., mechanical drawings, contour maps, blueprints, etc.) that have been scanned, digitized for computer viewing; and, saved in raster formats (tif, jpeg, pct, gif, bmp, etc.). A raster image is defined by dots (pixels). and VECTOR.....CAD PROGRAM FILE FORMATS ; (i.e. .dwg, .dxf). A vector image is defined mathematically. 

Save Raster files in various file formats (compressed and uncompressed)

Alter raster information (edit, deskew, despeckle, remove noise and clean-up, mirror image, copy, crop, move data) - on the same sheet.

Combine multi-raster (paper) drawings into one sheet.

Conversion to vector (CAD drawings) - convert to CAD files

Our PRICES are REASONABLE!!!
