The drawing tool, allows you to select a map image, uploaded pictures, PDF or create your own diagram//graphic for a project or specific section using the drawing tool which can better explain/highlight certain aspects of your project or section. This can be done at the Project lever, lower down at the Section level or, at the very lowest level, the observation picture draw and edit screen (please see above) . Project draw and Section Draw are identical in terms of functionality, however the drawing will appear in different location within the PDF report that we can will generated later.
Due to the Drawing tool being identical in both project and section we will show you the different locations where Draw can be accessed for Project and Section, after this, we will cover the drawing tool as one item
Project Draw

Select the section menu button (three dots in a circle) at the end of the desired section where a drop-down menu will display various different selections, draw will be one of those options.
The Drawing tool
When you open your drawing project you will presented with the drawing configuration box (please be aware the drawing you create will be incorporated into your project report. Your project report is built using the A4 page size (which is portrait and can’t be changed) and the drawing will be inserted into the usable space on that page. The usable space is roughly 66% of a page due to header, footer and boarders.)
...
Page, Is the name you give the page, if not entered the default is “Page”
Layout, “In a nut shell” Whatever you choose here is going on an A4 page, so have a play and see what happens!
Page Width & Height, I leave this as is and go with the flow. Incidentally, if you have a background image you wish to use on your page (we’ll discuss background images a little later) Draw will ask if you would like to resize your Draw project if you select yes the entire project is resized, if you select no the image is resized and the project stays as it was….again this is your choice so choose wisely!
Calibration Unit, Your draw project can be calibrated in “Meters or Inches” and is measured across the page.
Calibration Width (Incrementation units), you can change this to whatever, default is 100 which means the page is 100meters from edge to edge. If you set calibration width to 10000 the page will be 6.213712 miles from edge to edge.
Please be aware this is a drawing package and is therefor only accurate to within a quatre of a light year plus or minus a few lightyears or so, if the wind is in the correct direction so on and so forth, in short if you need CAD accuracy you will need a copy of CAD. However, I have found that if you have the correct PLAN, Background or drawing which has an accurate and clearly visible scale you can get some good results.
Show Grid, puts grid squares on the page
Snap to Grid, Will snap icons to that grid (snap to grid works even if show grid is unticked)“show grid” is unticked)
