How do I scale the CAD drawing to true length?
- Launch the drawing in CAD Reader.
- Use the Linear Measurement Tool to verify the existing dimensions of the drawing.
- Select two points that have a known actual dimension to verify the existing dimensions on the drawing.
- If the result is deviate, use the Scale Function in the measurement tools to set scale.
- In the pop-up box, enter the true length between the two selected points to define the correct scale.
- Once scaled, you can start extracting the dimensions from the drawing.
Note: The measurement unit will align with the drawing scale. For example, dimensions in millimeters (mm) will yield results in square millimeters (mm²).
