Take a measurement from plan or on-screen image and enter it and the actual length it represents to calculate the scale.
For an on-screen image, measure the known dimension of an object in the image (eg:a wheel diameter)
Use a full scale ruler to measure a known measurement from an image on-screen.
In the Calculate Scale dialog, enter this measurement into
Measured Length and the actual full scale measurement into
Full Scale Length. Hit Calculate Scale to calculate the scale.
This enters the scale into the lower Measure at Scale dialog. Now, measure any length from screen image or plan, enter into Measured Length
and hit Calculate to calculate the actual full scale length.
If scaling from an on-screen image, you can enlarge the image on the screen for more accurate measurements.
Hold down the CTRL key and hit
+ to enlarge, - to decrease size and 0 to re-set to 100% (normal).

If you're cutting blocks, concrete, stone or ANYTHING and there's DUST - DON'T TAKE THE RISK
Don't cut it, or cut it wet so there's NO DUST - Silicosis Sucks
And if you're cutting wet, wear a mask - there's dust in the spray mist too!

How should we spell it?

What do we think? - They're 2 different things:
A Meter is a device to measure things - like a Volt Meter or a Parking Meter
A Metre is about 3'-3~3/8"
Although diameter and perimeter as measurements - don't seem to fit very well
If the U.S. ever goes Metric, you'll be able to use a Meter to measure Meters - A Meter Meter
(And when we go back to the moon to Mars, this time, let's go Metric, ay?)
GO Artemis II !! (thats 2, not eleven - and Artemis is Metric, not Imperial, no matter what they say)
Many of our calculators can be used for multiple purposes.
