Using QuickScale
The Pages and Dimensions Panes
On either side of the main drawing area are two 'panes': Pages and Dimensions.
The Pages pane
The Pages pane is there to help you navigate around a multi-drawing PDF file or to help you get your bearings in a large, single drawing PDF.
The Dimensions pane
All completed measurements are stored in the Dimensions panes. The Elements and Details columns are both editable to provide element names and additional information of meaning and relevance to the end user.
Managing the panes
Both panes may be minimised or hidden altogether. To minimise a pane, simply click the little thumb-tack icon. To hide the pane completely, just click the little 'x' icon:
When minimised, you can see the labels 'Pages' and 'Dimensions' at the outer edges of the window:
To reveal a minimised pane, just hover the mouse cursor over the relevant label:
To reveal a hidden pane, you will need to select the 'View 'tab and then click the Dimensions and/or Pages button(s) in the 'Show' section. When these buttons are active, the panes are visible. You can toggle the panes' visibility just by clicking these buttons.
