6) Continue drawing the Area in the same manner as described in steps 3-5 above. To properly
calculate the area measurements, the area will need to be completely closed. Assuming all other
measurements are accurate, the last line of the area does not need to be measured. Tap the
Close icon on the PlusDraw toolbar to automatically draw the last line and close the area. In
this version, once an area is closed, it can not be reopened.
Note: Dependent on the scale (size) of the area, line dimensions may not display at the default
zoom level to avoid crowding of the text. Zooming into a line may display its dimension, but some
lines may not display dimensions at any zoom level. To see a list of all dimensions, use the
export feature . The dimensions will be listed in the Pocket Excel (see section titled Saving
and Exporting Files) file in order, from the leftmost top corner and continuing clockwise.
Drawing a Bay Window
Direct Angle Method (45°)
Angles of 45° can be drawn quickly by using the diagonal buttons on the 2 nd Function Layer*
( Image 22 ). Follow the steps below to draw the bay window shown in the example:
n Verify that the 2 nd Function Layer* on the DISTO is enabled.
n Measure the length of wall A .
n Press the up-right angle button. The line will be red.
n Press Enter on the DISTO. The line is black to denote that the line has been placed and input
for the next wall is expected.
Now, continue drawing the bay window in a similar fashion:
n Measure and draw wall B as normal.
n Measure wall C in the same manner as outlined above for wall A .

Smaller measurements can be directly entered using the PlusDraw keyboard shown in the section
titled Editing with the PlusDraw Keypad. Use the number pad to input measurements, and use the
directional arrows keys to denote the line direction.
