Measurement tool - Set scale

Post by RealMe »

I have been a user of the free version of PDF XChange Viewer for quite some time now and regularly use it for taking measurements from PDF-files rather than punishing my computer by opening large DWG-files.

Earlier on I was able to set the scale for the measuring tool via a toolbar which showed as soon as I clicked the button measure. Somehow I have lost this possibility and I now have to run through the menus in order to set the particular style and scale for my markups.

Does anyone how how I can get the program to allow the easy access to this option again?

CheerS!

Hi RealMe,

And welcome to our forums. The toolbar that you've lost is the Properties Toolbar. You can turn it on/off with Ctrl-E or via the main menu -> View -> Toolbars.

Please also take a look at this KB article:
