Aperture Cards – Already put your drawings on Aperture Cards?
Modern Information Systems can scan aperture cards and create digital images from them. The cards are scanned using a high quality Wicks and Wilson machine, which turns the microfilmed drawing into a bitmap or raster image file. Then, all the following benefits will be available to you:

• Faster retrieval
• Improved revision cycles
• Electronic editing
• Drawings transformed into precise, complete & intelligent CAD models
• Saved expensive space by eliminating drawing cabinets – typically 2.500 drawings (24”x26”) can be stored on just one CD
• Combined drawing with document scans for a complete electronic record for applications such as Building Files and Planning / Specifications

Scanned information can be supplied in many formats including:

• TIFF – the most standard raster format
• PDF – a simple raster scan can include OCR information that can be cut and pasted to other applications
• GIF – generally used for Internet applications
• JPEG – for color images
