Morning all,
At my last place of employment, I used a program where I could convert PDFs to a certain format, and then open that format up in an Autodesk application, find a measurement on the drawing and re-measure (which would always be wrong) but allowed me to set the scale from that dimension.
This was 7 years ago now and I can't for the life of me remember?
Does something like Design Review have a "Calculate scale" function?
At this point, I use a PDF underlay to bring the file into autocad, then I use the scale by reference on a known point on the plan (if it's dimensioned, or a standard door size, etc) to get the pdf up to 1:1 scale and measure that.
