While standard AutoCAD excels at manipulating native vector geometry (lines, arcs, and polygons), Raster Design bridges the gap between physical paper documents and digital vector environments. It allows users to insert bitmapped images—such as scanned blueprints, aerial photographs, satellite imagery, and digital elevation models (DEMs)—directly into their CAD workspace and treat them as interactive design elements.
: This unique feature allows you to use standard AutoCAD commands (like erase, move, or rotate) directly on specific regions of a raster image as if they were vector objects. Autodesk AutoCAD Raster Design 2010 ISO
