Previously, in the "Reclaim Wasted Design Hours with AI Vectorize" article, we highlighted the significant time savings and efficiency gains that HP's AI Vectorize tool brings to the table by automating raster-to-CAD conversions. Now, let's explore the intelligent technology powering this solution and how TAVCO, as one of HP's exclusive AI Vectorize partners, can get you connected.

What Makes HP AI Vectorize So Powerful?

This isn’t just conversion—it’s next-gen automation.

HP AI Vectorize is built on a proprietary machine learning platform, refined with over 5,000 beta images to deliver stunning speed and accuracy. Most conversions are completed in under 10 minutes, resulting in up to an 80% time savings compared to manual drafting.

Here’s what makes the AI conversion tool powerful:

Resolution Enhancement: Even if your original scanned drawings have less-than-perfect quality, the AI works to enhance line quality and clarity.

Advanced Segmentation Model: The system intelligently groups related elements, automatically creating distinct layers in the output DXF file. For instance, text, dimensions, and architectural elements will often be separated.

Sophisticated Object Detection: A standout feature is its ability to identify objects and entities, such as blocks. While it won't create an editable CAD block in the traditional sense, it will recognize elements such as doors (including their swing) or windows and place them on their dedicated layers. This makes isolating or modifying these standard features in your CAD software incredibly efficient.

Exceptional Text Detection (OCR): Historically, text in scanned documents has been a significant hurdle for conversion software. HP's AI excels in this area, utilizing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to accurately convert text, including callouts, into a usable layer within the CAD file.

Your Workflow: Simple, Secure, and Cost-Effective

HP and TAVCO have made accessing and using AI Vectorize straightforward:

Get Connected with TAVCO: As an authorized AI Vectorize partner, TAVCO can sign you up for the HP Build Workspace platform. Gain access here

Upload and Organize: Once registered, you can upload as many raster files (PDFs, JPEGs, etc.) as needed. The HP Build Workspace offers a secure cloud environment for storing and organizing your files, complete with folder structures.

Convert with a Click: Select your file and initiate the vectorization. The AI gets to work.

Preview & Edit: Before committing, you can preview the converted DXF file. The platform even includes editing tools to make minor adjustments, such as removing a stray line, to ensure you're satisfied with the result.

Download When Ready (This is When You're Charged): You are only charged when you decide to download the finalized DXF file. This "try before you buy" approach gives you complete control over quality.

AI Vectorize automatically generates layers in the converted DXF file.

What Affects the Value of a Conversion?

Although pricing is standardized by HP (see below), the value per credit varies depending on your file:

File Type	AI Benefit	Value per Credit
Low-resolution scans	Improved clarity	High
Complex AEC drawings	Layer detections save time	High
Simple site plans	Quick, accurate results	Moderate

Pricing & Access Options

You only pay when you download the final DXF file. There are no charges for uploading, previewing, or editing.

Prepaid Bundles

Best for regular or batch projects.

Account-Based Billing

Best for occasional users.

No upfront cost
Pay as you go with a card on file.

This pricing flexibility means that whether you have a large batch of drawings for renovation or occasional conversion needs, AI Vectorize is always ready without ongoing subscription fees if you're not using it.

You can upload, organize, and store your drawings in the Workspace cloud, converting and downloading them only when needed.

Is It Worth $50 Per File?

If you're converting basic line drawings and you have plenty of time available, maybe not.

But if:

You regularly convert AEC plans
You are using expensive outsourcing
Need fast, editable DXFs
Want text recognition and intelligent layers

Then HP AI Vectorize pays for itself in time and accuracy. Other tools and services can’t match its results, especially in terms of OCR.

Transparent. Flexible. Built for Professionals.

You’re not locked into a subscription. You’re not gambling on a result.

You only pay when you’re satisfied with the conversion.

Whether you’re scanning archived drawings or converting new field notes, TAVCO + HP gives you the power of AI without the guesswork.
