Ballooning Software – Viswa IR Gen – Adding Dimension to Ballooning Software


Ballooning Software Viswa IR gen imports Dimension from Digital PDF, and If PDF is image only, then IR gen detects dimension using OCR from the drawing image.

When you import the Drawing to Viswa IR Gen File, if PDF is Digital PDF, the program will import all the Dimensions when you add a PDF as a drawing in Viswa IR Gen.

If the program does not recognise the dimensions or incorrectly recognises the measurements, you can still add dimension to the drawing by manually entering the dimension value.
