How do I set the scale of a dimension in a drawing using CAD Reader?
- Launch the drawing in CAD Reader.
- Use the Linear Measurement Tool to verify existing dimensions.
- If the drawing isn’t to scale, locate and left-click on the Scale Tool in the toolbar.
- Select two reference points that have a known actual length, then right-click to confirm the selection.
- In the pop-up dialog, enter the true length between the selected points to define the accurate scale.
- Click OK to apply the scale setting.
- Recheck other known dimensions to ensure the entire drawing is correctly scaled.
Note: The measurement unit will align with the drawing scale. For example, dimensions in millimeters (mm) will yield results in square millimeters (mm²).
