Resources

Nullcad can import and view multiple formats of media separate from pure geometry, including PDFs and Images (JPG, PNG). These resources are stored directly in the save file rather than referenced externally. This keeps the project fully portable.

Resources can be dropped directly onto the canvas alongside geometry.

The Resource Manager

View -> Resources

This is where you import and view all resources attached to a document. Use the +Add Resources button to import resources from your file manager. It will allow selecting one or multiple images or PDFs to import. Once imported, save the document to write them to the archive.

Imported data files will also show in the resource manager.

The resource manager can be searched and filtered for various types. Drag Resources from the Resource Manager window to the canvas to add them, PDF’s will be added from the first page of the PDF, images show as you might expect, either will be scaled to a percentage of the view. Select a resource in the canvas to resize by dragging the handles and move them by dragging anywhere on the image/pdf.

You can change the page of the PDF in the properties panel and you can drop as many as you like of a single resource to show multiple pages of the same document.

You can copy/paste resources in the canvas. The pasted resource will occupy the same position and scale as the original, if you cant find it, its probably stacked on the original, drag it to a new position.
