Using QuickScale

Change paper size

If QuickScale picks up a different paper size to the title block on the pdf, the drawing has been reduced or enlarged.

You cannot change the paper size in QuickScale. You must do two calibrations to scale the pdf instead.

Look at the support page showing Using QuickScale: Calibrating (unknown scale).
