Locate the Drawing on the Digitizer Board

Modified: 7 Sep 2026 Viewpoint Estimating Estimating Help

Use the Locate Drawing page to locate the drawing on the digitizer board.

CAUTION: Viewpoint strongly recommends that you don't change the location of a drawing after digitizing quantities. If you change the location of a drawing, the Earthwork module may calculate items incorrectly since the digitized items will no longer match the drawing. Therefore, you should delete all items you have digitized on a drawing before you attempt to change the location of a drawing.
  1. Position the drawing on the digitizer and secure the edges of the drawing to prevent it from slipping.
  2. Locate the physical sheet by digitizing the lower-left and upper-right corners of the drawing with your stylus pen or puck.
    Tip: With a non-metallic based writing utensil (for example, highlighter, marker, colored pencil), mark the two points on the prints you plan to use when locating the drawing. If you ever remove the sheet from the digitizer board, you can always re-digitize the same two points, which will line the data up with the location of the drawing.
  3. Click OK.
