    Info
    • Measure a piece of Art taken with the Camera to make sure that the Scale is set correctly, so that Art and Moulding will display proportionally correct.

    • Click the Take Picturebutton.

    • Position a piece of Art under the camera and center it in the field of view.

    • Click Take Picture.

    • Click on the Art Regions Tab.

    • Click Add New Art Region button.

    • Draw a selection box around the Art.

    • The dimensions of the image displays on the Selected Region width and height boxes.             

    • The dimensions of the image should be correct, within approximately 1/8 inches. If the dimensions are correct and the image still appears “square,” then the camera is Calibrated at this specific Fixed Zoom Point.

    Calibration Complete 

    Info
    • The Camera is now Calibrated and will remain calibrated as long as the camera is not physically moved.

    • If the Camera or Camera Mount is moved, the entire procedure must be repeated.

    • When saving a project to the database or to a file, the Scale Setting is saved with the project.

    • Thus, if using different zoom points and recalling a project from storage may require the Scale to be set again for the next new project started.

    • For Fixed Zoom, the software only remembers One Scale Value and that value will be changed when loading a prior project from storage.
