Import Background Image

A forest map related to the stand register data can be imported ("Link to existing area..." or "Import forest map..." > "Import from shape") only if the format is "Shape". Digital maps in other formats should be converted before import. Linking is done by using the .dbf-file of the map and the three first fields of the registers' .csv-file (MapId, StandId, and SubStandId, respectively).

A background image (in raster format, as opposed to the vector format above) can be imported and viewed with the forest map. Preferrably, the image should be in .gif-file format. Associated pyramid file is used for geo-referencing. Any conversions - coordinate system transformations - should be done prior to import. The map-viewer integrated in PlanWise is based on the Swedish Grid (RT90, 2.5 gon V).
