You have the opportunity to mark the location of installation of each of your devices on a
virtual map. Thus, you obtain an overview of the zone and all the devices used.
5.4.1 Creating a map
You have the chance to import any image file into the software - e.g., a sector of a pipe
network plan or a detail of a map, etc.
If you have access to the Internet, the software also provides the possibility to call up
the ‘Google Maps’ web service, in order to create a map of the respective zone.
To import an image file and add it to a zone in the directory tree, proceed as follows:
Step Description
1
Mark the zone in the directory tree to which the map should be added.
2 Open the tab Directory in the multifunction bar.
3 In the segment Pipe network, click on Graphic file.
4
Use the window that opens to navigate to the source folder, from where the image
file is to be imported (‘jpg’, ‘bmp’ and ‘png’ format are possible).
Select the file and click on OK.
Result: The image file is imported into the software and now appears in the
directory tree in the form of a sub-folder called Map.
A new window opens, where the newly created map is shown.

device concerned, keep the left mouse button pushed and drag the device to the
point desired on the map displayed.
