QuickScale is a simple, cost effective take off system, taking areas and measurements off PDF drawings.

 

Fastest way to get a length, width, area etc off a drawing? Open the PDF in QuickScale, plot the scale, click on either end of the length or width, or click around the points of the area and QuickScale will calculate the dimensions. It should take under 1 minute from opening the drawing to getting the dimension. QuickScale It www.quickscale.co

QuickScale is a Windows program but we do have Mac customers who run QuickScale by dividing the Mac hard drive and run Windows programs alongside Mac programs. They divide the hard drive with Bootcamp, VMware Fusion or Parallels. If you would like to try this, you can download the QuickScale free trial and see how it runs on Mac. https://www.quickscale.co/trial.html

QuickScale will measure lengths and areas in microns and miles/km and everything in between.

No printers needed to scale the PDF, and no scale rules.

Email the PDF and the _qsbak file to us and we should be able to help you. You will not be able to read the _qsbak yourself. [email protected]

Extract one page/drawing from a multi page PDF. If the PDF has multiple pages/drawings, open it in this utility and extract the page you need. This is not limited to QuickScale customers only.

If you rotate a drawing in QuickScale and get an error, download this utility to rotate the page. Save it to your Documents and open that copy in QuickScale.

In the Dimensions pane (the spreadsheet on the side of the drawing) click on m/m2 to toggle between metres or square metres. In the Dimensions pane, Elements column, type over the words Line, Path or Area to give the measurement a name.

QuickScale is NOT a virus/trojan. Running "anti-malware" programs (which includes anti-virus and anti-spyware software) is good practice and highly recommended (normally!). There are, however, situations where anti-virus (AV) programs in particular can cause problems - and installing software is one of those situations.
