Restoring a Picture to the Logical Coordinate System
You can restore an upgraded Enhanced Coordinate System picture to a Logical Coordinate System picture. Prior to upgrading to the Enhanced Coordinate System, pictures are backed-up to a Backup directory for this purpose.
NOTE: Make sure the picture file is closed both locally and remotely before you attempt to restore a picture. Picture files that are open in a local or a remote session are not eligible for restoration, and will not display in the Select Files window until the picture is closed.
