Description

The CreateImagePlane tool imports an bitmap image and places it on one of the XY, YZ or XZ planes.

How to use

1. Press the Image Plane button.
2. Select the desired image in your system.
3. Choose the plane where the image will be placed, and optionally an offset.

Properties

Base

• DataPosition: specifies the coordinates of the base point of the image plane.
• DataAngle: specifies the angle of rotation of the image plane.
• DataAxis: specifies the axis used for the rotation angle.

Image Plane

• DataXSize: specifies the width of the image plane.
• DataYSize: specifies the height of the image plane.
• DataImage Plane: specifies the image to use for this plane.

Notes

Selecting the image in the tree view and activating its data-tab in the property view lets you select size
and orientation of the image. Specifying a small offset of 0,1 mm on import will make it easier to trace the image.
