Performing Takeoffs with the Measure Tool

The Measure tool is a good way to take multiple related measurements from a PDF file, which is useful in the estimation process. Measurements can persist as markups, allowing for processing and summarization through the Markups list, which is also useful for estimation and takeoffs, or be temporary. When the Measure Tool is activated, the last measurement mode used is automatically selected. This makes it easier to employ your most commonly used measurement mode. This section will demonstrate using the Measure tool to take several types of common measurements.
