Manually Setting the Scale
If you know the scale of the drawing you are working with, you can enter the measurement
scale manually.
1. Use the button to select the unit of measure for the first part of the
scale. For example, if 1 centimeter equals 3 kilometers, select cm as the unit of
measure and km as the displayed unit.
2. Click on the button to activate the Scale function.
QuikRuler III displays the current scale setting on line 2. For example, if the current
scale is 1 cm = 3 km, QuikRuler III displays 1:3 on line 2 with the flashing cursor
positioned over the 3.
3. Change the scale by clicking on a number on the QuikRuler Menu. For example,
click on if the desired scale is 1 cm = 5 km.
4. When the drawing scale is larger than 1:1, use a decimal value. If the scale were 5:1,
you would divide both sides of the ratio by 5 and click on the buttons so
the scale reads 1:2.
