Annotation measurement scale

Post by bneuson »

Hello,
Is there a way to set the measurement scale (calibrate) of an area/perimeter annotation through the API? Ideally, our user would set a scale once, and then all following annotations would be drawn with that scale. Retroactive correction of the calibration scale used would be useful as well.
Thanks

Alex,
Could you explain the endings scale parameter? For an annotation with a scale I am getting 0 for both start and end.
Thanks,
Billy

Hi Billy,

It seems that I misunderstood you. I wrote a small sample that illustrates what you want:

Also, you can read the help for better undestanding:
