NextPreviousHomeEPS sketch on map background (to show route travelled)

soupy | 14 years ago | 6 comments | 2.8K views

I'm not able to create a properly scaled .bt file using the same background map in Bixangelo & Blufftitler. It should work, but the vector image is always smaller and resizing doesn't work.

Any thoughts or directions?

Why does sizing not work? You can use the SIZE property of the sketch layer to scale the sketch.

Maybe you have to use the ROTATE property as well.

The size functions do not allow the scale to stay the same, so the eps path no longer follows the map image layer. movie is 720 x 480 px

Is there not a way to create the sketch using the 720 x 480 map image and then when you open in BT it should be properly overlayed???

When you e-mail your project to info@outerspace-software.com we will take a look at it.

I finally figured it out, I was opening the EPS layer in BT and when I inserted the background map the scale was off.

When I open the sketch layer in BT and insert the background map and adjust it to fullscreen everything is overlayed properly, only thing is I can't attach an airplane icon to the path which would be very useful (I can using the EPS layer). An example a car icon following roads on a map.

This might be a good example show to create for the gallery page as it useful for travel presentations

You can attach a picture to a sketch layer by choosing LAYER > ATTACH LAYER > ATTACH PICTURE TO ACTIVE LAYER...
