Duplicates the folder structure for files of the generated package, changing the absolute paths to relative ones. The root folder is the top-level folder in the folder tree.

At that:

·         Relative paths do not change. Relative paths specified outside the original root folder are saved up to first-level folder above them and are located in the root folder;

·         Absolute paths outside the root folder tree are converted to relative ones. Absolute paths not included in the original root folder are saved up to the path to the first-level folder anove them and are located in the root folder;

·         Absolute paths outside the root folder tree are converted to “No path specified” and transferred to the root folder or a folder inside the root folder tree;

If necessary, missing folders can be created.

CAD drafting Tuning Program Parameters 237

Place all files in one folder

Places all files, including drawings, images and fonts to the same folder.

CAD software Tuning Program Parameters 238

CAD drawing Tuning Program Parameters 239

CAD drafting Tuning Program Parameters 240

DPI <300>

Default resolution for images doesn’t contains resolution.

CAD software Tuning Program Parameters 241

Transparency

Enables/disables transparency mode for monochrome images.

Georeferencing

CAD drawing Tuning Program Parameters 242 Section for setting georeferences of raster images.

 

CAD drafting Tuning Program Parameters 243

Use World or TAF file

Using World or TAF file when inserting raster images.

Inserting georeferenced raster images in World or TAF georeferencing files, if any. When inserting such rasters, the coordinates of the insertion point, the scale and the rotation angle are substituted automatically.

It also creates a World file with geo-coordinates for each Raaster image saved from the External References Manager using the Save as command from the context menu
