This topic focuses on the procedure to place Location Markers in a GPS calibrated drawing.
For a similar procedure using the Map tool see this topic.
Prerequisites
This topic assumes that you have a GPS calibrated drawing of your plant.
For more information on calibrating your drawing see here.
Further, this topic assumes that you have identified GPS coordinates for your Locations in your Locations table. For more information on this topic see here.
Explanation
WireCAD has the ability to place a marker for every location in the Locations table for which GPS coordinate data exists. The markers placed are based on the current filter settings. For more information on setting filters see here.
The type of marker placed, its scale, and Overlay Mode can be determined in the menu structure.
The marker text, color and Overlay Mode settings can be controlled in the GPS Settings panel.
