Setting the Units and the Scale
Use the
and
functions to tell QuikRuler III the units in which you
want measurements to be displayed and the scale of the drawing being measured.
First, Identify the Unit of Measure
Use the
function to indicate the units in which you want measurements to be
displayed. You will then set the scale of the measurements.
Example: Suppose you’re working with a map where 1 centimeter represents 3 kilometers.
You would use the
function to tell QuikRuler III that you want to measure your
drawing in centimeters and to display the results in kilometers. You would then use the
function to set a 1:3 scale.
NOTE: Use the
function at any time to convert the current measurement,
shown on the second line of the display, to a different unit of measure.
Set the Units
1. Click on the
button.
QuikRuler III displays:
Using the previous example, centimeters are the units of measurements from your
drawing, and kilometers are the units you want to display. The flashing cursor follows
the unit that can be changed.
