1 min read Updated

Use the Measure tool to take a straight length off a scaled plan. Click where the length starts and where it ends, and MetreMate shows the real distance in metric or imperial units.

Step by step

  1. 1Make sure the sheet is scaled.
  2. 2Choose Measure in the tool list.
  3. 3Click the start of the length, then click the end.
  4. 4Read the distance on the plan.

Tips

  • Auto Snap catches corners, edges and line ends as you move, and a small label shows what it has caught.
  • For a run with several sides, use Perimeter. For a curve, use Arc.
