In this video tutorial, I will demonstrate how to scale a PDF import.

As a first step, we import the PDF document.

We open our file and then we select the importing unit meter.

This window down here indicates that the PDF import is completed.

We move to the plan view, which makes it easier to see the drawing and afterwards use the

measuring tool in order to check our measures.

We can use the line here on the left as an orientation line.

Below we see that the measured value is 704.4 meters.

However, this does not match the 18.7 meters of the drawing.

Now we need to correct the drawing by using the scaling function.

First of all, we need to select the entire drawing, because we want to scale all elements.

We want to scale by using our reference line and select the appropriate icon in the toolbar.

Below you can always see the next action for the currently active command.

We select the scale center by clicking left on the corner of the drawing.

The drawing will be scaled from this point forward.

The next click determines the starting point of our reference line.

Then we use the line here on the left as our orientation line.

The measured value of 704.4 is replaced by 18.7 meters and confirmed with OK.

The program now automatically scales all prior selected lines by the same factor.

As a last step, we check with the measurement tool if the measures are now correct.

We can use this line here on the left and see that the 6 meters match the 6 meters.

Then we check a different line.

The measurements are now correct and we can start with our project.
