Setting Scale and Units
Use the
and
functions to tell QuikRuler the scale of the drawing you
are measuring and the units in which you want measurements to be displayed.
Identifying the Unit of Measure
Use the
function to identify the units in which you want measurements to be
displayed. (See the next sections for details about setting the scale of measurements.)
For example, suppose you are working with a map where 1 centimeter represents 3
kilometers. You would first use
to tell QuikRuler to measure your drawing in
centimeters and display the result in kilometers. Next, you would use
to set a
1:3 scale.
NOTE: You can also choose
at any time to convert the current measurement,
shown on the second line of the display, to a different unit of measure.
