AutoCAD Raster Design: what the toolset adds to AutoCAD
The AutoCAD Raster Design toolset is the answer to a cabinet full of scanned drawings. It despeckles, deskews and crops raster images, converts lines, arcs and text to editable AutoCAD geometry with raster-to-vector tools, and handles georeferenced imagery and DEM data for site work. Anyone maintaining legacy drawings for a UK estate, factory or utility uses it to bring old sheets into a current DWG workflow.
AutoSoftKey supplies the toolset as a 3-year licence for Windows.
How Autodesk supplies the toolsets. Autodesk includes its seven specialised toolsets with an eligible AutoCAD entitlement on Windows; each toolset is installed separately from the core application. This page is a dedicated workflow page so you can buy the entitlement that matches the work you do; it is not an additional seat on top of AutoCAD. Read our AutoCAD toolsets explained guide before choosing if you are unsure.
What AutoCAD Raster Design is used for
- Image clean-up: despeckle, deskew, bias and rubber-sheet scanned drawings.
- Raster editing: erase, move and copy raster regions as if they were vectors.
- Vectorisation: convert raster lines, polylines, circles and text (OCR) into AutoCAD objects.
- Imagery and elevation: georeferenced images, DEMs and multispectral data for mapping and site analysis.
- Image formats: TIFF, JPEG, PNG, ECW, MrSID, JPEG 2000 and more.
Who buys AutoCAD Raster Design
Facilities and estates teams, engineering firms digitising archives, surveyors working from aerial imagery, and reprographic bureaus. It complements Map 3D and Civil 3D for geospatial work.
Choosing your release year
AutoCAD Raster Design is Windows-only. Select a release year from 2024 to 2027; the toolset must match the release of the core AutoCAD it runs with, so keep the two in step if you already have AutoCAD installed. Every option carries the 3-year licence term.
