Description

A Measure tool has been added to the Standalone versions of 2023 versions of the OpenFlows water products and the 2024 version of the OpenFlows storm-sewer products. This wiki has the general workflow for using this tool .This allows a user in Standalone to use a measure tool without needing to be in another platform, like AutoCAD.

Workflow

A measure tool for length and area is now available for Standalone. To access this go to Home > Drawing > Measure or Layout > Measuring. From the Home tab, you can click the Measure button to choose either length or area. From the Layout tab, you will see each option available.

 

 

Selecting this will open a new toolbar. To use this, simply click in the drawing to create the line or area. When you are done, right-click and choose Done. The value for the length or area will be displayed in the Measure toolbar.

You can change units by right-clicking on the unit in the toolbar and choosing Units and Formatting. You can adjust the color used in the display by clicking the Options button.

Once you close the Measure toolbar, the display on the drawing will be removed.
