Import Enhanced Compression Wavelet Files (.ecw)

Import into your project georeferenced ECW (Enhanced Compression Wavelet) aerial image files with embedded map projection information to use as background images in TBC. ECW technology provides exceptional compression, capable of reducing very large files to five percent of their original size, while retaining the image’s full visual quality. Because of the small file size provided by the ECW format, files can easily be stored, transferred, and displayed, even on small devices. ECW-formatted images are supported in all TBC graphic views, including dynaviews and plotboxes, and can be used as a background map.

To specify whether to copy ECW files into the project folder on import, or reference them from their current location:

Select Options in the Quick Access Toolbar to display the Options dialog.
Select General > Images in the left navigation pane to display the Images pane.
Check or uncheck the Copy ECW files to project folder check box.
