button to digitize the calibration points for the first section of the document.
Documents larger than your digitizing tablet can be digitized in Didger. Follow the steps for Calibrating Large Documents, and then you can begin digitizing large documents.
To digitize a large document:
1. Divide the document into enough sections so that each section fits on the digitizing tablet. For each section, define between three and 256 calibration points (see Selecting Calibration Points).
2. Place the first section of the document on the tablet and start Didger. Use the Tablet Calibration Wizard or click the button to digitize the calibration points for the first section of the document.
3. Digitize all the objects from that portion of the document. Save the work in a [.PJT] file.
4. When completed with the first section, move the document so the next section is placed on the tablet.
5. Choose the Tablet Calibration command.
6. Clear all the currently displayed calibration points from the calibration grid and type the coordinates for the calibration points on the current section of the document. Step through the Tablet Calibration Wizard to calibrate these new points.
7. Choose the Project Limits command from the Digitize menu, and set the limits for the project to the entire document extents (with all the sections you digitize). Do not check the Set limits based upon check box. This allows you to see the entire project area, including all the objects you have digitized from other sections. Note: You can set the Project Limits at the beginning of the project so you can see the entire project area from the beginning.
8. Digitize the objects for the current document section and save the file when completed.
9. Continue with this procedure until all sections of the document are digitized.
