Drawings management

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

To add a plan:

1. open the Phasing tab
2. click the “+ Map” drop-down menu
3. click Import
4. select the plan file (SVG, PDF or DXF) and click Open

After selecting the file, an import wizard appears.

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.

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.

This interface allows you to georeference a plan.

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:

To rename a plan:

1. select the plan
2. click the Rename button

In the window that appears:

1. modify the plan name
2. click OK

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

To do this:

1. 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.

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:

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

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:

1. right-click
2. Properties
3. adjust the End mark height

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.

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.
