====== Drawings management ======

TILOS 360 allows you to import **plans or technical drawings**
in **DXF**, **SVG** or **PDF** formats.

<note warning>
Very large documents may significantly slow down the creation
of phasing notebooks and their printing.
</note>

===== Importing plans =====

{{:en:phasing:2026-03-13_08h43_04.png?300|}}

To add a plan:

  - open the **Phasing** tab
  - click the **"+ Map"** drop-down menu
  - click **Import**
  - select the plan file (**SVG**, **PDF** or **DXF**) and click **Open**

After selecting the file, an import wizard appears.

-----

===== Step 1: selecting objects =====

{{:en:phasing:2026-03-13_08h43_15.png?600|}}

After importing a plan, the interface automatically displays
the **plan editing window**.

From this editor, it is possible to manage the **visibility
of the vector objects** that compose the plan in the left
side panel.

-----

===== Step 2: image quality =====

In the second step, you define the image quality that will
be kept inside the software.

In TILOS 360, plans are converted into images in order to
improve performance and user comfort while working.

However, the **original quality is restored during printing**.

-----

===== Step 3: plan georeferencing =====

This interface allows you to **georeference a plan**.

{{:en:phasing:2026-03-13_08h43_55.png?400|}}

By clicking **Automatic**, you can select two known points
on the plan and match them with two points on the map
in order to position the drawing correctly.

To verify the alignment, you can adjust the **plan opacity**:

-----

===== Naming plans =====

To rename a plan:

  - select the plan
  - click the **Rename** button

{{:en:phasing:2026-03-13_08h44_03.png?300|}}

In the window that appears:

  - modify the plan name
  - click **OK**

-----

===== Default plan =====

When a project contains several plans,
it is possible to define a **default plan**.

{{:en:phasing:2026-03-13_08h47_05.png?200|}}

To do this:

  - enable the **checkbox located to the left of the plan name**

This plan will then be automatically used
in certain views of the phasing module.

-----

===== Adding a scale =====

It is possible to add a **graphic scale** to the plan.

However, this is not necessary when the plan is already
**georeferenced**.

To add a scale:

  - click the **Object** drop-down menu in the **Display** section
  - click **Define a scale**
  - draw a segment by holding the left mouse button from point **A** to point **B**
  - in the window that appears, define the length:

{{:en:phasing:2026-03-13_08h57_52.png?400|}}

-----

===== Adjusting the scale =====

Once the scale has been created, several actions are available
using a **right-click**:

  * **Align horizontally**
  * **Adjust scale**

These options help ensure that the scale is correctly
oriented and calibrated.

The scale position can then be moved freely
on the plan.

The length of the end marks can be adjusted via:

  - right-click
  - **Properties**
  - adjust the **End mark height**

-----

===== Measurement tool =====

Once the scale is defined (or if the plan is georeferenced),
the **measurement tool** can be used.

This tool allows you to measure the distance between two
points on the plan.

If the scale of the plan is modified later,
**existing measurements are automatically recalculated**.

-----

===== Display scale =====

The display scale of the plan can be modified using
the **zoom tools** located at the top right of the window.

These display settings are **saved for each plan**.
