You can use Promap’s measuring and drawing tools to measure and customise your map in all of the map layers as well as the aerial photography layer. You can get the following measurements of a shape or line on your map: perimeter, area, width, height and rotation.
Promap displays the drawing and measuring tools on the left-hand side of your screen.
•You can switch the drawing tools on and off by clicking the Draw & Measure button.
To use a tool, click its button. For example, the Shape tool.
The tool button will turn black when you are using it
When you've finished using the tool, you need to turn it off by clicking the button again. It will be grey after you've turned it off.
•When you click the tool button, the Shape Information popup opens in the top right of the workspace. This will show you the measurements of the shape you are drawing as you draw it. If you delete the Shape Information popup for any reason you can retrieve it by left clicking once back on the relevant shape.
This chapter will show you how to select objects to measure, perform specific functions such as area and length measurements and how to check and indicate clearance.
