X-PAD Office Fusion supports these following raster image formats: JPG, JPEG, JP2, TIF, ECW, PNG, BMP, and PDF.

  • The command activates the options panel on the right that shows the following parameters:

    • File name: shows the name and location of the selected file.

    • Enter coordinates: allows to specify coordinates in the CAD window for inserting the image.

    • World file– Grid coords: if the image is already georeferenced, this option allows you to use the image's world file, which contains information about its position, rotation, and dimensions.

    • X: allows to specify the X-coordinate for inserting the image. Clicking the icon image-20250105-121610.png enables you to select the position directly in the CAD window.

    • Y: allows to specify the Y-coordinate for inserting the image. Clicking the icon image-20250105-121610.png enables you to select the position directly in the CAD window.

    • Raster map width (pixels): displays the width of the raster map in pixels.

    • Raster map height (pixels): displays the height of the raster map in pixels.

    • Pixel size X: if the image is not georeferenced, this option allows you to set the pixel size in meters along the X axis of the image.

    • Pixel size Y: if the image is not georeferenced, this option allows you to set the pixel size in meters along the Y axis of the image.

    • Map width: if the image is not georeferenced, this option allows you to enter the width of the image in meters.

    • Map height: if the image is not georeferenced, this option allows you to enter the height of the image in meters.

    • Resolution (dpi): shows resolution (dot per inch) image.

    • Scale map 1: allows to set the scale of the image if it is not georeferenced.

    • Split in tiles: allows to split the image in smaller tiles. This option is available if imported image has size > 10000 pixel.

    • Tiles size (pixels): if Split in tiles is enabled, this allows to specify the size of each tile.

    • Number of tiles: if Split in tiles is enabled, this field shows the number of tiles in which the image is divided, depending on entered Tiles size.

    • Import: applies the set parameters and imports the image.

    • Close: ends the command.

  • The imported image appears in the Project Manager under the Raster Maps category.

A new raster map can also be added directly from the Project Manager:

It is possible to change the visualization of the raster map, changing the Z value in the Properties, for example to display the measured data over the raster map.
