Free partial conversion on your first drawing — no payment required. Start here →

Microfilm archives present unique challenges — frame quality varies, contrast can be poor, and the scale relationship between the film and the original drawing must be established before conversion can begin. We handle all of this as part of the process.

“We work from your microfilm frames or digital scans of them — re-drafting every drawing by hand to produce accurate, usable CAD output.”

The output is a clean DWG or DXF file with correct geometry, your layer standards, and scale verified against any reference dimensions available in the original.

Auto vs Manual

Why This Conversion Requires Manual Expertise

✗ Auto-Conversion Software

Why software fails on this source

Traces over the source — output is not real CAD geometry
Broken polylines and open paths throughout the file
Text not recognised — converted as graphics
No layer structure — all geometry on one layer
Scale errors common, especially on older originals
Requires hours of cleanup before use

✓ CADConversion.org — Manual

No. Every drawing is manually re-drafted from scratch by a CAD engineer. We use no auto-trace, raster-to-vector, or AI conversion tools at any stage.
Yes. Provide your layer standards when you send your drawings — as a written specification, a template DWG, or a description — and we apply them throughout.
We work with less-than-ideal originals regularly. We do the best the source material allows and flag anything that requires a decision from you before proceeding.
Standard turnaround is 7–10 business days. Urgent 3–5 day turnaround is available at a premium. All timelines confirmed before work begins.
Send us any drawing and we will convert a portion at zero cost — no payment, no commitment. Judge quality before placing any order.
