ARCHITECTS & DRAFTERS

Review the PDF.
Keep the detail in context.

When drawings move from authoring software into a PDF, review still needs a reliable scale reference. Skalet focuses on measuring that PDF and communicating the result.

Work with multiple detail scales

Use named per-sheet scales for separate views. Saved lengths and areas keep the scale used when they were created; switching the active scale does not rewrite earlier results.

Check a resized export

When the printed scale no longer matches a resized PDF, calibrate using a known dimension and check another span. A single calibration cannot correct uneven scan distortion.

Share a measured reference

Export saved dimensions and, in the area prototype, closed outlines as PDF annotations. Skalet exports a copy and leaves the original imported source unchanged.

What to keep in mind

Skalet measures PDFs; it does not author CAD geometry, edit BIM models, verify code compliance, or replace approved drawing dimensions. Use it within your existing review process.

Start with the right scale.

The same measuring fundamentals apply across roles: a current drawing, a usable source, a verified scale, and carefully placed endpoints.

HOW TO
