Simple background graphics are imported easily through the Background Graphics Editor. ProModel also allows you to import complex graphics files such as AutoCAD drawings to use as the background for your simulations. For more information on how to import a background graphic, see Graphic Editor.
Often, importing a background graphic makes the process of placing locations easier, or altogether eliminates the need to create graphic icons for locations.
