CarCheck System PLUS Appendix
The CarCheck System PLUS software is delivered with a set of standard pictures that show common
car body designs (limousine, station wagon etc.). Other pictures, photos, etc. can be added as
needed.
Adding Images
If you want to use an image that is not in the list, you can add any other suitable picture. Click on
to add an image from your hard disk or other available source to the list. The commonly
used image file formats on Windows operating systems (*.bmp, *.jpg, *.png, *.gif) are supported.
Automatic Placement of Measurements
For manual placement of measurements, see on p. 25.
Measurements can be placed automatically by clicking on the button if the image
has been prepared accordingly in the Grid Display view (see on p. 30).
Note:
When you select an image where you did not yet assign positions for the measurements, the button
is inactive (gray).
The measurements will be placed in the same order in which you clicked the corresponding positions
in the Grid Image view. If there are more measurements for a components than assigned positions,
the remaining measurements will not be placed. If there are more positions than measurements, the
remaining positions will be left empty.
Measurements that are placed will be displayed with a gray background in the list and cannot be
placed again. However, every measurements can be moved freely on the image with the mouse. To
remove a measurement from the image, its context menu must be used (see next section).
Context Menu
Each measurement has a context menu (accessible by right-clicking the measurement) allowing for
certain display characteristics of that measurement to be changed.
In particular, you can add an arrow to a measurement, for instance, in order to indicate a measuring
spot more clearly. To move such an arrow, hover with your mouse cursor above the arrow. A large
round patch appears. Drag it with your mouse to the area where the arrow is supposed to
point.
Using the context menu, you can also hide measurements or remove them from the image. If a
measurement is hidden, it will be made invisible, but will still be marked placed in the list. If a
measurement is removed, it is marked as available in the list and can be placed again.
