AutoCAD Raster Design Corporate Training Program for Employees
Give your design and drafting teams a faster way to bring scanned drawings, maps, and images into AutoCAD. Edstellar's instructor-led AutoCAD Raster Design training turns raster cleanup and raster-to-vector conversion into a reliable, standards-driven workflow, customized to your projects and delivered onsite or virtually worldwide.

Equip Your Design Teams to Master Raster Images in AutoCAD
AutoCAD Raster Design is Autodesk's specialized toolset, included with AutoCAD, that lets teams insert, edit, manage, and convert raster images such as scanned drawings, aerial photos, and maps directly inside AutoCAD. It provides image cleanup and despeckling, raster snapping and editing, raster-to-vector (vectorization) conversion, and tools to georeference and embed scanned content alongside vector geometry. Teams that know AutoCAD Raster Design can turn paper archives and image files into accurate, editable CAD data instead of redrawing them from scratch.
As organizations digitize legacy drawing archives and combine scanned maps with live CAD data, this program helps your teams clean up, georeference, and vectorize raster images accurately inside AutoCAD. Empower your people with expert-led on-site, off-site, and virtual sessions delivered by Edstellar, a premier corporate training provider serving organizations worldwide in-person and virtually across popular languages. Built around your projects and drawing standards, the program turns AutoCAD Raster Design skills into lasting capabilities that lift performance across your design, drafting, GIS, and mapping teams.
By the end of the program, your team can clean and prepare scanned drawings, snap to and edit raster geometry, georeference images, and convert raster content into editable vector lines and text inside AutoCAD. The result is far less manual redrawing, reusable digital archives, accurate map-and-drawing overlays, and a measurable lift in the speed and quality of the drawings your business produces.

Participants should be comfortable with basic AutoCAD navigation and 2D drafting, such as drawing and editing geometry, working with layers, and plotting. A background in design, drafting, GIS, or mapping is helpful for context, but no prior AutoCAD Raster Design experience is required to get the most from the AutoCAD Raster Design training course.
