To check that TaxiDraw works OK with the data you have configured as above, press Ctrl+N (or File->New) and enter "KSFO" (without the quotes) in the airport-selector dialog box that comes up.

=== Background image === | |||
A background image can be used to easily draw an airpot layout; all you need to do is overlay the image with runways/taxiways. In order to keep the right coordinates, it is required to calibrate the image. | |||
# Load a background image via View > Load Background Image. | |||
# Uncheck <tt>Right mouseclick > Lock Layers > Background Images</tt>. | |||
# You can now reach the calibration menu via <tt>Right mouseclick > Calibration</tt> and move/scale the image with the mouse. | |||
