Set size as

Set size as gives flexible access to the drawings dimensions. It allows making precise measurements on the drawing with several scale factors.

Let us start with a simple drawing containing some parts drawn with different scale factor:

Press Distance [Ctrl+D] button on the toolbar or select [Tools > Distance] menu command and measure any distance on the main part of the drawing:

We have measured diameter 40 and resulting Distance is 40.0000. That is right. But if we measure neighbouring drawing we will get incorrect values:

We have measures a distance which is actually has to be 3, but we have got 6. This is not a failure inasmuch as we know that this part of the drawing has 2:1 scale factor. We just set Set size as: equal 3:

Since now every measurement on this part of the drawing will be correct.
