What file types are supported for background layers for the standalone platform for the water or storm-sewer products?Problem ID#: 74835
Note: MrSid files are currently only supported in the 32-bit version of the Haestad product. How do you run a hydraulics and hydrology product in 32 bit mode?
The CAD file types dgn, dgndb, and .imodel can now be added as background layers.
Some image formats support associated world files, starting with the CONNECT Edition release. When attaching a background image file that has an associated world file present, the image will now be spatially located automatically (ie. georeferenced).
Currently the following file formats support an associated world file:
The World file extension is based on the image's extension. One convention is to use the first and last letter of the image's extension and add a "w" (eg. .jpg>.jgw). Another convention is to append the image's extension with a "w" (eg. .jpg, .jpgw).
When opening the file, the Image Properties dialog will automatically enter the coordinates from the World file in the editable (Drawing) fields.
