How to Convert Meters to Millimeters in CAD Reader?

1. Open the Drawing

Launch your drawing file in the CAD Reader app.

2. Verify Existing Dimensions

Use the Linear Measurement Tool to check the current dimensions displayed in the drawing.

3. Select Reference Points

Choose two points on the drawing with a known real-world distance. This helps confirm whether the current measurements are accurate.

4. Check Units and Scale

If the measurement result is shown in meters or differs from the expected length, use the Scale Function under the measurement tools to adjust the scale.

5. Set the Correct Scale

In the pop-up dialog, enter the actual distance between the two selected points.

• For example, if the tool shows 0.567 m, and the true length is 567 mm, type 567 mm into the scale box.
• This will recalibrate the drawing so all subsequent measurements are displayed in millimeters.

6. Extract Accurate Dimensions

Once the scale is set, you can begin measuring and extracting dimensions in millimeters throughout 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).
