Starting the Scan Module and Loading Drawings
Usually, when you're ready for scanning, a scene has been created containing the elements to be scanned and the exposure sheet has been filled.
If you have not previously prepared your scene’s exposure sheet or created your elements or scenes, you can always create drawing lists, elements or scenes directly from the Scan module without having to go through the Control Center.
