Quick Start Guide

During the trial, you’ll be guided through the main features of the app with some interactive popups. If you missed these, or are returning to the app after some time you can refer to them again here.

Action Menu

The Action Menu is where you can find all the non-drawing features of the app. Such as Image Import, Maps, Save, Export, Clear Canvas, Print, and Settings.

Action Menu (Cog Symbol)

Set Scale

When importing an image to calculate its area you’ll need to set the drawing scale. This series of 3 popups guide you through this process.

The Rule Tool is accessible when an image is initially imported and allows you to draw a known length.
With the known length drawn, enter its length and the measurement system you wish to work in. Then submit with the tick.
Add the image to the drawing canvas to begin drawing your shape. Once added, the rule tool will no longer be accessible.

Line Lengths

The display of Line length labels can obscure the image and make drawing difficult. You can switch these off from the Action Menu > Settings.

Area & Perimeter Results

Once a shape is closed (ending and starting vertex are connected) Area and Perimeter results are displayed in all common measurement systems nested in the results bar at the bottom.

Create new drawing layers with the + symbol for multiple shapes.

Adjust Length

Lengths can be manually entered by selecting a line label. Toggle the direction of the label to indicate the vertex to be moved.
