Start the program using the IMS Map360 shortcut on your Desktop, or from theWindows' Start menu. When the programopens you will see the following dialog:

This is an opening dialog of IMS Map360. The above dialog allows you to eitherStart a new scene orOpen an existingscene, by selecting the appropriate option. You can also view an introductory movie or review the help files. Use the checkboxes to set the options you would like to apply whenever you run the software. To begin this tutorial in "Sketchmode"please check on "IMS SketchMode" and pick "New Scene."

In this example, set theDistances= Int'l Feet, Directions= Azimuths, Drawing Scale Factor= 20, andDefault PlottedText Size (inch)= 0.1Check on "Set these defaults as Permanent" if these are the units you normally work with and youwill be able to skip this step in the future.

Note: The Drawing Scale Factor of 20 represents a drawing scale of 1 inch on the printed page equals 20 feet on the groundat the scene. It is often described as 1"=20'. In order to get this precise scaling it is necessary to enter a similar number inthe printing dialog, which will be demonstrated later.

Additional Information:

l The International Foot is defined as exactly 0.3048meters, while the US Survey Foot is defined as exactly1200/3937meters, so the difference between them is 2 parts per million (304,800meters = 1,000,000 InternationalFeet = 999,998 US Survey Feet). Generally speaking, US Survey Feet are only used in IMS Map360 when usingGNSS to collect data.

l Azimuths are directions that aremeasured in a full 360 degree circle with North as the “zero” direction. The increas-ing angle is always clockwise.

IMS Map360

- 4 -

l Bearings are defined as North, South, East orWest. Directions aremeasured from North or South. For example:bearings are normally referenced as N 42° 16’ 23”W – this wouldmean 42 degrees to the left of north (towards thewest).

l Angles aremeasured by instruments in degrees, minutes and seconds.

The Drawing Screen

Youwill then see the empty Drawing screen. Your system will show a black background, but we are using white in thisguide because it prints better in amanual. We are now ready to start working.

(Part 2 of this tutorial will show you to import a sample Evidence Recorder Scene. If your organization uses another methodto collect scene data you will want to skip to Part 3.)

Many IMS Map360 users use Evidence Recorder as their field data collection software. Downloading an EvidenceRecorder scene into IMS Map360 is a two step process:

1. UseMicroSurvey Transfer to download the file into the SyncWizard Downloads Directory

2. Use the Evidence Recorder SyncWizard to bring the coordinates and linework directly into the drawing as outlinedbelow:

Starting SyncWizard

With the drawing Tutorial-1 open, switch to your "Import/Export" ribbon and pick Import EVR to import a Evidence RecorderProject.

Click theDefault download folder button to automatically jump to the SyncWizard Downloads folder.

Select the Tutorial-1 scene.

Please note theArchive Project Upon Import option, if this is checked then after the scene is imported, it will bemovedfrom the SyncWizard Downloads folder into a special Archived Scenes folder, so it will no longer appear in this list. Formost scenes you will want to leave this checked, but for this tutorial uncheck it so that the Tutorial-1 scene remains in thisfolder for later use.

IMS Map360 comes preconfigured with two drawing templates, and you can create additional custom ones using IMSMap360 if required.

Layout Space

To view our drawing in the preconfigured Letter Landscape template, select the paper space tab at the bottom of your draw-ing:

A preview of your drawing layout will be displayed. Details of the center of the drawing have been predefined, but each canbe customized.

- 69 -

Customizing Viewports:

Three viewports are inserted into this template, each one with a different scale to display different details in the scene.Each viewport layout can be customized by double clicking inside the square so that the border highlights:

IMS Map360

- 70 -

Now you can use the same zooming and panning controls you used when creating the drawing inmodel space to centerthis viewport on a detail of the scene you would like to show:

When you are finishedmodifying the view, double click your mouse outside of the highlighted border, or type "pspace" ifyou are unable to pick outside the border, and the viewport will show you the results:

- 71 -

Repeat this process for the other viewports as shown below, to focus attention on other aspects of the scene:

IMS Map360

- 72 -

Hiding text in selected Viewports

Depending on the level of detail each viewport is showing, youmay wish to hide text that appears in a particular viewport,without hiding it in the rest of the drawing. Let's go over a simple procedure that allows you to freeze a layer in just one view-port:

To hide the layers displaying text in the bottom left viewport, change to your "Draw" ribbon. Then double click inside theviewport again:

- 73 -

Next, pick on the "Passenger Car 1" text. Look at the "Settings" group on your "Draw" ribbon, it is now displaying the layerthat text has been created on:

You can now selectively freeze the "DESCRIPTION" layer by picking the pulldown and picking the "Freeze in Viewport"button as shown:

IMS Map360

- 74 -

Note how the "PASSENGER CAR 1" text is missing in the current viewport but still visible in all other viewports:

When you are finishedmodifying the viewport double click outside of the viewport, or type "pspace" if you can't pick outsideof it. Continue selectively freezing layers until you are satisfied with the appearance:

- 75 -

Viewports can be individually scaled so they show different levels of detail. It is useful to know:

IMS Map360

- 76 -

l It is standard practice to use "Standard" numbered scales (ie: 1:10, 1:20 etc) which are predefined inMap360. But you also have the ability to set user defined scales if required.

l It is standard practice to set your main viewport scale so it matches the drawing scale factor defined inthe "General Configurations: dialog defined in the "Tools" area of the "Home" ribbon:

Setting Viewport Scale with the Properties Palette:

l Ensure that no viewport is active

l left click the border of a viewport

l right click and select "Properties"

l The property palette will appear on the left of your screen. Find the "Standard Scale" field and select a scale:

- 77 -

Setting Viewport Scale using "Scale Layout Viewport" Function

l Ensure no viewports are active

l Find the "Layout" group on your "Draw" ribbon, pick on the pulldown and select "Scale Layout Viewport"

IMS Map360

- 78 -

l Pick the viewport you need to scale with your mouse

l Note the prompt in the Status bar at the bottom left:

l Type in the desired scale

For this exercise, set the:Main Viewport = 1:20 (the same as the Drawing Scale Factor)Lower Left Viewport = 1:10Lower Center Viewport = 1:20

Customizing Annotations

Next we can customize the Annotations that have been pre-defined in this template. Let's start with the viewport scalelabels:

l Ensure no viewports are active

l Left click on "[Insert Scale Here]" in each viewport

l Right click and select "Edit Text"

l Set the scale labels for each viewport as below:

l Main Viewport: Scale = 1:20

- 79 -

l Lower Left Viewport: Scale = 1:10

l Lower Center Viewport: Scale = 1:20

l Next, edit your other annotations so they appear as below:

Using predefined templates and viewports makes printing a simple process. We'll do a quick print of this scene:

Configuring the Page Setup to match your printer

Let's start by modifying the Page Layout that is already predefined with your "Letter Landscape" template so that it will workwith your printer:

Right click on the "Latter Landscape" tab and select "Page SetupManager:"

Select "Letter Landscape" and "Modify:"

4. Check on "Center on Page"

5. ALWAYS set "Print Scale" to:

l 1 inches = 1.000 unit for US Feet and Intentional Feet drawings

l 1mm = .001 unit for metric drawings

l It is not necessary to change any other scaling options as all scaling is done with the viewport settings.

6. Finally, pick the "Preview" button to see what your print will look like:
