Below I have added some lines and circles to the picture that draw your attention to a rather dull patch on the screen that has absolutely no structural of service defects!
Imagine just how effective the Picture drawing tool could be if there was a defect or structural problem located at this point in the below picture that you needed to bring to the customers attention!

Tool for Projects or Sections
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 we will generated later.

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, 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)
