Capture Image - PDFS- Reduce dead space and keep clarity

  • 1.  Capture Image - PDFS- Reduce dead space and keep clarity

    Is there a way to reduce dead space when using the capture image function? I would like to shrink this up to the border of the pdf.

     

    My primary reason for this is for exporting this data to Siteworks. Also, is there a way to ensure crisp, clarity when exporting a capture of a pdf or a better way of exporting a georeferenced pdf to read in Siteworks.. The couple of times I have tried exporting this and bringing this into Siteworks, text was too blurry to read. 

     

    I tried using a plot box and that didn't seem to work. Limit boxes also did not seem to work. 

     

    It would be awesome if you could right click on the image in the project explorer and have an option to "export georeferenced image".  #enhancementrequest

     

     

     

    Thanks!

    Correction; the plotbox will work. I had some settings that were not correct.

     

    I still think a right click option on an image would be way faster, cleaner, and cut out quite a few unnecessary steps. Especially in cases where there are numerous images that could be referenced and exported. #enhancementrequest

     

    Here is an example of some of the images I use. Now I would not send all of these to the field, either Siteworks or SiteVision, but I may send half. That means I would have to create 7-10 plotboxes and repeat this process turning on and off the respective images. Quite a bit of work. Nevermind if the plans change and the user has to repeat this process.

    Patrick,

    How do you send out images to Siteworks?

    Erik,

     

    I use the capture image in TBC. This will generate a jpg and jgw (some people call this a world file). Load this into the Siteworks folder in your desired project labeled Background Images. You will need to make sure Siteworks is on v1.11 and currently this only works on Windows devices.

    Sweet. Thanks. Ill try this out this morning. I was trying different ways last night and couldn't get it. Looks like I was using 1.10 on the emulator too.
