C.4. Operations carried out on the first fragment of base drawing

After the first fragment of the drawing has been scanned or loaded, you can display it and move it on the screen using the mouse (with the left button pressed) and you can also do the following:

1. Adjust the angular deviation of the fragment so that the left edge of the drawing or a line you have indicated is vertical.

2. Specify the number of remaining parts and manner of their appending – this function, called the “navigator”, makes the operations systematic and frees the user of specifying the type of appended parts.

¨ To adjust the angular deviation of the first fragment of the base drawing:

1. Click “Deviation adjustment” on the right side of the screen.

2. Click on the upper and then on the lower point, which after rotating are to indicate vertical line in the drawing. The point to be marked is shown on the right side of the screen.

3. Click “Rotate” – the scan or drawing fragment is rotated so that the marked points are aligned vertically.

¨ To define the settings of the “navigator”, i.e. to specify the number of appended fragments and their sequence:

1. Check “Use navigator”, if it is not checked yet.

2. Specify the number of fragments you want the base drawing divided in horizontal and vertical directions. In the example above the drawing is divided into 3 fragments in the horizontal direction and 2 fragments in the vertical direction.

3. Determine the sequence of appending the fragments. This sequence is represented by one of two selectable icons.
