Do you still have to create a new AutoCAD floor plan from an old house drawing on paper or in PDF? Hand-drawn floor plans can be cumbersome and inaccurate, especially if you are planning a renovation or selling a property. Below, we explain why digitization — creating a high-quality DWG and PDF file from an old plan — is a smart investment and how Ruut24's drawing digitization service can help you quickly implement it.
What is a new AutoCAD floor plan from an old house drawing?
A new AutoCAD floor plan from an old house drawing means that:
The paper drawing is scanned or photographed.
All dimensions, space distribution and symbols are manually and carefully transferred to AutoCAD .
Your changes (e.g. new walls or windows) will be added during the drawing process
The finished result is DWG and PDF files that can be easily updated later.
If necessary, we also create JPEG/PNG images for online advertisements.

5 reasons to digitize an old floor plan
Precision in renovation – millimeter-accurate measurements ensure that the construction team works with the correct data.
Make changes quickly – A DWG file can be edited in the future in minutes, rather than starting from scratch.
Increased sales value – a clear digital floor plan increases buyer confidence and helps visualize spaces.
Secure archiving – the digital file will not lose quality or be damaged by water.
Seamless collaboration with partners – AutoCAD is like an industry standard, recognized by architects and engineers around the world.
