Measuring Tools

[Arnold]

In the latest beta version if I point at and select a distance measurement it seems to stay selected even if I deselect it. The info box stays on the screen also. You cannot point to it again as only the move icon shows as it is still selected I believe. I do not think it was like this before, but I only started using the viewer a week ago. The only way to deselect it seems to be to draw another measurement.

Is there any plan to have a feature for orthographic lines? Maybe an option for exporting measurements to a CSV file easily read by Excel?

Great program.


P. S. When opening a file in Firefox the launch button at the bottom does not have the full viewer there any more. On my computer at least.

Yes, just press Shift key when drawing measurement.

To be honest there is already this functionality, but we forgot to enable this command. It will be available into build 42.1 of the viewer.

It will be fixed into build 42.1.

Thank you so much for all the answers. With regard to the orthographic lines, I meant would it be possible to set it that way and leave it so you can just keep measuring? I had figured out about the shift key.

About the other problem I noted. Here is a screen shot of a drawing. Measuring toolbar dismissed, rectangle type measure supposedly deselected. However, it still seems to be selected and the info box is still showing at the bottom right. If one opens another file (different tab) the info box shows there too! Any file opened has the info box still there. The only way to deselect the area measurement box and dismiss the info box is to actually close the offending file completely. (See attached)

Getting this screen shot was difficult. Is there a way to create a new document in PDF-XChange from the contents of the clipboard? That is what it took to do it, but could not find it in the program.

I see where this problem or a similar one has been discussed on the forum before. Thanks.

Will fix.

Will try to add into new build (planning supported clipboard formats: text, rich text, images).
