Claim One:
1. A method for separating details of a raster illustrated parts image, comprising: recognizing text within the raster illustrated parts image; removing the recognized text from the raster illustrated parts image; analyzing the raster illustrated parts image to identify and group together pixels that comprise artwork forming a detail of the raster illustrated parts image, to enable details of the raster illustrated parts image to be parsed as part of separate detail files; assigning each detail of the raster illustrated parts image to its own detail file; assigning each text element of the recognized text to a detail file based on a correspondence between the text element and a reference line, if any, pointing to a raster illustrated parts image detail assigned to the detail file; removing reference labels and reference lines from the detail files to obtain scrubbed files each including a reusable base graphic; and converting each scrubbed file to a vector layered file in which each reference label is in a separate vector layer; the vector layers controllable to selectively display one or more of the reference labels with the reusable base graphic; the method performed by one or more processors using memory configured with the one or more processors.
