Create a template pain drawing (TPD)
To adjust the size of the full body- and back image, use the plus and minus buttons at the top right. Remember to depict a body area only once.
To cerate a template pain drawing, simply drag and drop the desired sketch into the drawing area.
If you want to remove a sketch, just drag it out of the drawing area.
And to start all over again just hit the “Reset”-Button.
To get a better orientation, you can toggle a grid-overlay with the “Show Grid”-Button.
Print template pain drawing
In order to print your TPD, press the „Print“-Button on the right upper corner.
Since most printing dialogues have a scaling preset of 97% make sure that the size is set to 100% or “actual size”.
Otherwise your pain drawings will not be recognized when you scan them back in.
Save template pain drawing
Press the „Save“-Button, which starts to export your template pain drawing as a Zip-file.
To access your template pain drawing as PDF unzip the downloaded Zip-file.
You can also print your PDF with another program but remember the scaling setting mentioned before.
