🧾 About dimension display and plotting

The size of the dimensions are dependent on the View > Plot Scale. That means, the smaller the plot scale, the smaller the dimension text will be on screen. The dimensions appear on screen as they would when you print or plot the job at the scale factor set.

To view the dimensions clearly on screen, make sure the plot scale setting is suitable, typical useful settings are:

  • 1:200 for larger commercial jobs

  • 1:100 for residential jobs

You can change the plot scale by selecting View > Plot-Scale and modifying the scale value.


📋 Plotting dimensions

The dimensions are printed/plotted with the roof drawings using the Reports command. You can also plot them using the Tools > Plot command.
