Distance Tool

[Jan_]

Hi,

is it possible to scale the value from the distance tool? Have set the units and grid to mm and expect the distance to be 10 (see file attached). Using Windows XP64 SP2, PDF-XChange Viewer 2.5 (Build 193.0).

Hello Jan,

Please have a look at this KB article:
How do I specify the units to be used in the measuring tools
Which is separate from the settings you have done in your screenshot.

Also it appears that your topic is an end user Viewer one, but you have posted in the Clarion developers forums.
Please confirm this was in error and I will move your topic to the correct place.

Best,
Stefan

Hi Jan,

the move is done, and I hope the KB helped you with setting up the scale for the measurement tools

Hi Stefan,

the KB helped out, many thank's.

Just one remark. The KB says "...a context sensitive toolbar appears...". If it does not - as for me - one can find it under Tools -> Measuring Tools -> Distance Tool -> Show Comment Style Palette and then pick the style.

Best regards

Hello Jan,

The context sensitive toolbar is the "Properties Toolbar" and it's visibility can be toggled with Ctrl + E.
I will see that we add some additional info to that KB article.

Best,
Stefan
