Utilities Menu
The Utilities menu provides access to commands that are useful through the entire software package.
The commands allow you to do such things as:
● Enter project information
● Set/Create Project Workspace
● Alter the drawing legend
● Create text labels
● Show distance between two points
● Preferences
Project Information This command opens a tabbed dialog box that will allow you to view and edit
information about the current project workspace.
Set/Create Project
Workspace
This command opens a dialog box that allows you to view and edit information
about the current project workspace.
Geo-Reference
Building
Summit WMScanner allows you to geo-reference your drawing by recording the
latitude and longitude for a given set of coordinates (ideally the upper left and
right bottom points) in your drawing, effectively geo-referencing these points. This
command opens a dialog box that allows you to pick two geo-location points, edit
these points, or remove them. See “Utilities - Geo-Reference Building” on
page 55 for more details.
Legend This command opens a dialog box that allows you to configure the drawing legend
and title block in the drawing view. With this dialog box, you can change the text
in the title block, alter the size and position of the legend relative to the drawing,
and toggle what information is shown in the legend. See “Utilities - Drawing
Legend” on page 57.
Labels This command lets you add text labels with your choice of font, formatting, and
color to the drawing. When you place a label, you first use the mouse to identify
where the label should go on the screen. This involves identifying the rectangular
region bounding the label; the label text will wrap within the text box. The label
editor will then appear enabling you to enter text of various fonts, styles, and
colors. Once a label has been placed, click on it and drag the mouse to move the
label to a different location. To edit a label, double-click on it. The label editor
will reappear and allow you to change the label’s text.
