How to use viewports

Applies to:

  • Revu 21
  • Revu 20

Revu allows you to create viewports, which are areas with different measurement scales than the rest of the PDF. All measurement markups you add within these viewports will adhere to that viewport's specific scaling.

To create viewports:

  1. In the Measurements panel, select the Add Viewport button to define a viewport.
  2. Select OK in the pop-up window, and click and drag to define the region for the new viewport.
  3. Enter a label for the viewport, and select from either the preset scales or set your own custom scale.
  4. Select Apply.

To change the name and/or scale of a viewport, select the menu icon for the desired viewport.

To delete a viewport, select the viewport and click theDelete Viewport button. To delete all viewports from either the page or the entire document, select the Clear AllViewports button.

Having too many viewports may adversely affect measurement markups. For example, if you're drawing a Length measurement using feet and inches, but the annotation appears in decimal format, then it's possible there are existing viewports on the PDF which are affecting the measurement. You can delete any unwanted viewports by following the steps mentioned above.

The Viewports section of the Measurement panel allows you to create viewports with different calibrations. This allows you to define areas with different measurement scales than the rest of the document. All measurement markups drawn within these viewports will adhere to that viewport's specific scaling.
