in the railroad industry |

US railroads have a long and interesting history. Drawings
of the rights of way and track layouts are no less
interesting and historical. Many are considered works of
art. Most were drawn before CAD or even before mechanical
drafting machines. The information they contain is very much
current and useful but exists only on paper but railroad
track engineering has come a long way since the early tracks
were laid. |
Modern track design and, maintenance is a
science that requires the precision of CAD and all of its
mathematical functionality. The problem is one of how to get
the right of way and track layout information from old
drawings into a vector format to manipulate and update in
CAD. The old drawings were carefully scanned and the raster file was automatically converted to vectors in TracTrix and exported for editing to CAD. |
