How to Use Multi-Measure

Use Multi-Measure to draw once and create several measurements with separate materials and units. Use Templates when you want to reuse a saved measurement setup. Open a project page and set its scale before you create length or area measurements.

Configure additional measurements

Open Measurement Setup for the drawing tool.
Select Add Multi-measure.
Choose a Material for the additional measurement.
Choose its Unit under Measurements.
Set the trade fields that appear for that additional measurement.
Repeat these steps for each additional measurement.
Close Measurement Setup.
Draw the measurement on the page.

Each additional measurement keeps its own trade field values. Electrical fields are Type, Size, and Role. Plumbing fields are System, Type, and Size. Mechanical fields are Type, Size, and System.

Additional measurements use the same name as the source measurement. A different unit does not change that name.

You now have multiple measurements from one drawing. Next, use templates to reuse a setup.
