How to import DXF files into Giraffe
The Image import works with PDF, .JPG, or .PNG files. The images can be black and white or color. PDFs must be a single page.
There are 2 ways to open the layer upload applet:
Add layer → Create Your own → select layer type
Main menu (☰) → Layers → select layer type
Images can be added to the map as layers using the image layer creator. This allows you to import images, fit them to a relevant area on the map and add them as a context layer to one or more of your projects.
To import the image click ☰
→ Layers
→ Create Layer From Image
.
The import tool will appear in the right bar.
Upload the file and adjust it to fit the correct area on the map. Uploading a PDF file will launch a utility to allow you to choose the area of the PDF you want to import and the resolution of the import.
When uploading a PDF, the system will convert it to an image for faster processing later on.
You can adjust a few settings prior to finalization.
