In the [Document properties] section, describe the original document that you will load when you use the template. You can define:
The image orientation of the original image.
The legend position of the original image.
The file parameters of the original image.
It is recommended to adjust the document properties when you load files of different standards using the same template.
The settings can differ, depending on the printer model.

[Image Orientation] |
[Match CAD standard] |
Keep the default setting [Match CAD standard] and orient the image according to the selected standard:[DIN], [ERICSSON], [AFNOR]. |
[Reading orientation] |
Select the reading orientation of the original image, manually:
|
|
[No rotation (as in file)] |
No extra rotation, use rotation as it was saved in the original image. |
|
[Add a 180 degrees extra rotation] |
Check the box, for any of the three orientation values, to rotate the image by 180 degrees. The rotation applies to the newly computed image which has become the new original image. Be careful in case of automatic detection of the legend: the detection of the legend is computed before the extra rotation is applied. |

The system will analyse the image to find the position of the legend. It will show the selected corner in the print preview. |
