Adding a Picture of a Zone
You can associate photographs or drawings with your zones to help visualize the zone location.
Note: The image must be in the JPG format. For example, the image file must have the .jpg file extension.
The ideal photograph or drawing is a rectangular shape in the “landscape” orientation, which means that the width is greater
than the height. You can also use a photograph or drawing that is in the “portrait” orientation (the height is greater than the
width); however, in this case, the software will compress and/or stretch the image to fit the predefined size.
