Adding images

The Tools > Image > Load Images menu option enables you to load previously saved images into a level. You can also use this option to load images that have been created from another application that you wish to treat as a level.

To add images in ScanLevel, follow the procedure below:

Create a new level, as described in Creating a level for scanning.

Choose Tools > Image > Load Images.

The following series of dialog boxes are displayed. Fill in the information for these dialog boxes to suit your requirements:

Setup Drawing Names dialog box (see Setting the drawing names).

Image orientation dialog box (see Choosing the drawings' orientation).

The Find Pegholes dialog box is displayed:

: If the images you are loading include an image of the pegbar, click on the appropriate pegbar to set which edge of the image to search for the pegholes.

Click on OK.

Choose the file, or files, you wish to load from the dialog box displayed, and click on OK. (See Locating a file.)

: The images are loaded into ScanLevel, orientated according to the selected pegbar position.

If ScanLevel fails to find the pegholes for any of the images it loads, the Manual Peg Finder dialog box is displayed:

: Use the scroll bars to locate the round peg hole of the image along the edge you have selected, and click on OK. The image is then loaded.

: If the pegbar is located on another edge of the image, click on Reselect Edge to redisplay the Find Pegholes dialog box again, and reselect that edge.

: If the image does not have a pegbar, click on Cancel. The image will not be loaded. If you are loading a series of images, ScanLevel attempts to load the next image.
