The Scan2CAD Real World Guide to Vectorization tells you how to vectorize less than perfect scans and how to tweak vectorization settings. It helps you to get the best possible vectorization from any vectorizable image.
Canadian Scan2CAD user Marc Levesque describes the Real World Guide as "a huge help". He has translated it into French so that his French-speaking colleagues can work through it.
Marc has kindly made his translation available to us. To download it, click here (650 KB, PDF).
Thanks Marc!

Scanning a physical part like a gasket or similar for profiling can be problematic. Because parts have a thickness they produce shadows when you scan them in. Once in Scan2CAD it can be difficult to tell where the part ends and the shadow begins. Click here for solutions.
