Importing an SVG file

If the data source is a SVG file, there are additional options that you can set.
The following figure shows the options available when importing an SVG file.
Select
Data Sources pane for an SVG file
Select Data Sources pane for an SVG file
  1. Choose File>Add Map Data to display the Select Data Sources pane.
  2. In the top part of the pane click the gray rectangle to preview the image and use the toolbar to pan, zoom in/out, and fit the image to the view.
  3. By default the SVG Calibration pane is displayed in "bounds mode". In bounds mode you can set the latitude and longitude of the image manually. Click the row and enter the coordinates. You can also click the rectcoord.png button to interactively select the boundaries.
  4. To switch to "control point" mode, click the pixelbutton.png button. This adds two columns: Pixel Column and Pixel Line. In this mode you can set the position of the image manually using the pixel properties or the latitude\longitude properties. In addition, you can drag the red crosses to the point you want; this automatically sets the property values in the SVG Calibration pane. The red cross associated with a selected row is contained in a rectangle.
  5. Click the addpixel.png button to add another row and another red cross in the Image pane.
  6. Click the pixelbutton.png button again to return to bounds mode.
  7. To remove a row from the Image Calibration pane, select the row and click the delete_button.png button.
  8. Select Use Tiling, if you want to use this option, and set the number of rows and columns.
  9. Click Open.
