When using the Haochen CAD drawing software for creating drawings, CAD vectorization operations are often required. Some people may not be very clear about what CAD vectorization is; let’s explain it in detail below! What does CAD vectorization mean? Vectorization means converting bitmap files, which are originally composed of color pixels, into graphic files made up of directional vector elements. What is a CAD vectorized bitmap? Bitmaps, whose common formats include BMP, JPG, GIF, etc., are composed of many different color dots. The higher the resolution, the more color dots there are, and at the same time, the larger the size of the bitmap becomes. Color dots have no specific meaning; they merely represent the color of the location where they are found. What is a vector graphic that has been vectorized using CAD? A vector graphic means that it uses data such as coordinates and direction vectors to represent shapes; the size of the file does not change when the graphic is enlarged, and even if there is a change in size, it is only minimal. Moreover, vector graphics do not have the concept of resolution. Neither zooming in nor out affects the display of its image. What is a raster image vectorized with CAD? In addition to vector graphics, there are also raster graphics. While vector graphics define a line based on the length and direction of its segments, raster graphics are composed of arranged points; when enlarged several times, they exhibit distinct levels or steps, just like stairs. The above is a detailed explanation of what CAD vectorization is; I hope it will be helpful to everyone~
