Working out area on plan

[Steevo]

Is there a program I can use that I can upload a file (e.g PDF/JPG etc), state the scale of it and then use it to trace areas to work out the area of shapes and dimensions?

Free to use I think and perfect for the job.

Replaced adobe

I'm just working out how much concrete I want you to do.....so I may as well just send you the file and save myself the job!

I used to use paint cos it was free.

This loads better and can convert to PDF too

Don't leave it to me to work out, we'll end up doing about 38 acre

Haha!!! Well that depends who's paying for the concrete...! If you want to book down a few extra loads because you're enjoying it so much I wouldn't be one to complain.

Doesn't work like that

Reckon it's about 80 cube, maybe just a touch over.

if its a yard you could use free map tools? they have an area calculator where you bring up google maps keep clicking around the edge and it gives an area readout in m2 Ha acre etc?

as for scaling a picture into something most cad programs do it but cost £££ so probably not worth it.

It's a new yard that isn't on any maps anywhere.

The Foxit reader recommended did exactly what I want and more. No more Adobe for me!

No charge

Long tapes been banned then?

no but time is more valuable now than ever. Not used a long tape in years, let the surveyor do that when the they do the rest of the plans.

that's what I do and measurements never too far off for off plan work

What about to scale also ?

They are when I have a plan for new construction that is to scale, and doesn't match with anything on the ground.
