Loading a Datasheet Picture into SheetScan

By default, SheetScan opens a new, blank datasheet editing window.

There are two ways to load a datasheet picture into the editor: directly, or by using the HTML Viewer.

Loading a Datasheet Picture Directly
  1. Browse directly to the datasheet picture file by choosing Picture > Load Picture to open a file browser window.
  2. When you have located the desired file, click OK to load the image into the SheetScan editor. Supported file types include: .bmp, .dib, .jpg, .gif, .tif, .tga, .pcx, .htm, and .html.
Loading a Datasheet Picture Using the HTML Viewer
  1. Choose Picture > Internet to open the HTML Viewer.
  2. Browse the Internet for the desired datasheet.
  3. Resize the HTML Viewer window and adjust its scrollbars until the desired portion of the datasheet is in view.
  4. Click the To SheetScan button (To Sheetscan Icon) to copy the visible contents into the SheetScan editor window.
    Note:

    To hide the datasheet picture, select View > Picture.

After loading a datasheet picture into the SheetScan editor, the next step is defining a coordinate system for the imported picture.
