Take Measurements Quickly And Accurately With QuickScale

When you receive a PDF drawing by email, it isn't always to scale and that can make taking measurements a challenge. That's where QuickScale comes in.

QuickScale makes it fast and simple to take accurate areas and measurements directly from PDF drawings, scans, DWG files, or images.

How it works:

• If your drawing isn’t to scale, simply click on two points of a known measurement (like a door width or parking space), type in the distance, and QuickScale will automatically calculate the correct scale.

• From there, you can click between two points to take measurements or trace around an area—whether it's a straight line or an irregular shape.

• Export your measurements directly to a spreadsheet, or print the drawing to scale with your dimensions clearly marked.
