Position the drawing on the digitizer and secure the edges of the drawing to prevent it from moving. Mark two points on the plans with a non-metallic writing utensil where you plan to digitize the lower-left and upper-right points for drawing location. This will allow you to relocate the plans using matchlines if you remove them from the digitizer board at a later time.
The application automatically adds a reference point to each point you locate to assist in this process.
Note: Position the drawing on the digitizer as straight as possible before locating it. Do this by orienting the North/South axis of the drawing along the vertical axis of the digitizer board. - Click Estimating > Earthwork > Tools > Locate Drawing in the All Tasks pane.
- Press the tip of the stylus on the lower left corner of the drawing. A dot appears in the drawing area of the popup window.
- Press the tip of the stylus on the upper right corner of the drawing. The drawing location appears as a white rectangle in the drawing area of the popup window.
- Click OK.
