Hey Guys,
I do a lot of mechanical engineering works, mainly in building services.
I am doing a lot of quotations at the moment, now to enable me to do this I receive a lot of drawings to price, these I have to print to scale off....
Normally the item i need to measure off is quite small, but I still need to print the full drawing to enable this to be to scale.
Now some of these jobs I don't win so therefore they go in the bin and A - Not cost effective, B - Not environmentally sound.
So is there a way of measure items on a PDF drawing on the screen? For example looking at a A1 drawing on the screen and clicking point A then clicking point B and finding out these is 3metre? at a 1:50 scale etc.
Thanks.
