Sputnik Image viewer 

THIS PROGRAM IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY.

Sputnik image viewer - shareware program, designed for viewing 
huge AutoCAD DXF, Windows Enhanced EMF and TIF graphic files, 
using just a little free memory space (no swapping from CD) 
and computing resources.

There is no reference definition procedure at all for
overlaying DXF an EMF files on a TIF.
Vector files will be scaled to raster size.

Program provides padding, zooming, quick navigation,
layers toggle, string search, rubber draw with length measurement,
and printing.

The program reads TIFs with 8bit palette, gray scale and 24bit RGB the color mode.
3D DXF will be viewed flatten. Some DXF group codes are not implemented yet...
Background TIF can be easy combined with multiple DXF and EMF files, 
including objects (polylines, arcs, text,..) with the same scale 
and mounting point, or to say, measured by the same units and 
having equal origins. 
New opened TIF will clear all stock opened brfore.

"Open" dialog box (as usual with Ctrl) can select multiple 
files at once.

Zoom in/out buttons change view scale by the factor of 2

To draw polyline push rubber draw button, then point vertices.

Current coordinate and path length will be shown. 
To cancel drawing - path right click. To clear - "trash" button.

To toggle layer visibility - select proper layer name in Layer
pull down list.

Selecting a string from the Search pull down list causes moving to it's
placement. Duplicated strings are inserted in original order.

For jumping to any part of an image, open Navigator thumbnail panel
with the button on the right of tool bar, then drag and drop red rectangle.
To close panel, push this button again.
