How Do I Measure the Surface and Side Area Using CAD Reader On Mobile?

  1. Open the drawing in CAD Reader.
  2. Select Measurement Tools and tap the Dimension Tool.
  3. Verify the existing dimensions on the drawing and ensure the scale matches these dimensions.
  4. Use the Scale Function in the measurement tools to adjust the dimension scale if necessary.
  5. Once scaled, choose the Area Tool and measure the surface area by closing the loop around the desired region.
  6. To find the side area, use the Calculate Side Area feature. Input the object's height to obtain the result.
  7. Copy the measurement result and paste it into an Excel sheet for further use.

Note: The measurement unit will align with the drawing scale. For example, dimensions in millimeters (mm) will yield results in square millimeters (mm²).
