Import Sketches

 
     

If you want to import a sketch that you initially created in Apex there are several ways to do so.

 

     
 

Import from WinTOTAL

 
     
  1. In TOTAL's Sketch PowerView, click Import Sketch in the top toolbar.
  2. In the window that appears, browse to the report containing the Apex or TOTAL for Tablet PC you wish to import.
  3. Click to select the report containing the sketch you wish to import. Then, click Import.

TOTAL imports the sketch into your report. If the sketch is an Apex sketch that you wish to convert to TOTAL for Tablet PC format, ensure that TOTAL for Tablet PC is set as your preferred sketcher and simply edit the sketch file.

 

     
 

Import from TOTAL for Tablet PC

 
     
  1. With a blank sketch open in TOTAL for Tablet PC, click File, Import Sketch.
  2. Browse out to the TOTAL for Tablet PC file (.dsk), WinTOTAL file containing a sketch (.zap), or Apex sketch file (.ax2, .ax3, or .ax4) you wish to import.
  3. Click to select the sketch file and then click Open.

TOTAL for Tablet PC imports the sketch and, if it's an Apex sketch, converts it to TOTAL for Tablet PC format.

 

     
 

Drag & Drop Import

 
     

TOTAL for Tablet PC also supports drag and drop file imports. If you know the location of the sketch file or WinTOTAL report containing the sketch file you wish to import on your computer, just browse out to that folder on your computer's hard drive (in Windows) and then drag and drop the sketch file or WinTOTAL report file onto an empty sketch in TOTAL for Tablet PC. TOTAL for Tablet PC imports the sketch and, if it's an Apex sketch, converts it to TOTAL for Tablet PC format.
