I am a cabinet designer. I use 20/20 design software on a daily basis. A colleague recommended Autodesk Design Review.
I specifically want to add dimensions to blue prints that are sent to me in PDF form.
I have a new Lenovo ideapad Y700. I have downloaded Autodesk Design Review, but I am having issues with it.
The drop down menu for "MEASURE" does not work, so I cannot change the scale. I have tried adding dimensions to items that I already know the dimensions of and the measurements are incorrect.
I have tried right clicking then selecting "2D Units & Scale" and changing the scale. However, the same problem persists.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi. Thanks for your reply.
First, an update. When I right click and change the setting under "2D Units & Scale", the measurements appear to be correct (using known dimensions as a reference). The drop down menu for "MEASURE" still does not work.
The reason I am attempting to use this is a colleague suggested it. He uses it with success. In the past I have zoomed in/out and printed until I got the drawings for the rooms I need to print to scale (using existing measurements as a reference). This was time consuming and wasted paper.
Once I have the correct measurements from the rooms I need, I then draw the walls in 20/20 design software and start designing the cabinets.
Do you have a suggestion for software?
Thanks!
