For example drawings that only exist in physical form (blueprints, plots of lost files, etc.) can be converted into CAD files using a procedure called "Paper-to-CAD conversion" or drawing conversion, involving scanning and vectorization, or digitization. Additionally, photographic images can be vectorised in order to incorporate them into an otherwise geometric design. In the process, the photograph may be transformed into a silhouette, for example.
