Maps...
The Maps Options dialog box (Fig. 4.12) allows to display up to 5 background DXF-maps and
3 Line maps. A DXF-file contains detailed data describing numerous CAD entities. An entity is
a line or symbol placed on a drawing by the CAD system. PMWIN supports the following
entities: LINE, POLYLINE, POINT, ARC, SOLID, CIRCLE and TEXT. The other entities will
be ignored. There is no size limit to the number of the acceptable entities.
A Line Map consists of a series of polylines. Each polyline is defined by a header line and
a series of coordinate pairs. The header line only contains the number of the coordinate pairs.
Refer to Appendix 2 for the format of the Line Map files.
< To import a DXF-map or a Line map:
1. Click the right mouse button on any of the DXF File or Line Map File edit fields and select
a file from a Map Files dialog box.
2. If necessary, use a scale factor to enlarge or reduce the appearance size of the map. Then use
the values in X and Y to shift the scaled map to the desired position. For details, see Scaling
a vector graphic in sec. 3.9.
3. Click the colored button in the front of the edit field and select a color for the DXF-map
from a Color dialog box. The color will be assigned to a DXF-graphics entity, if the entity's
color is not defined in the DXF file. A line map will always use the selected color.
4. Check the check box next to the edit field. The map will be displayed only when the box is
checked.
