To add measurements to a drawing in the Drawings tool on your Android device.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • 'Read Only' or higher permissions on the project's Drawings tool.

  • This asset or item can be viewed or edited in offline mode if it was previously viewed and cached on your mobile device. Tasks performed in offline mode sync with Procore once a network connection is reestablished. 

Steps

  1. Navigate to the project's Drawings tool using the Procore app on an Android device.
    Note: Make sure there is an active network or internet connection.
  2. Search and filter for the drawing to which you would like to add measurements.
  3. Tap the drawing.
  4. Follow the optional steps below:
    Note: The first time you add measurements to a drawing, you will first have to calibrate the drawing. 

Calibrate Your Drawing

  1. Tap the Calibrate tool.

  3. Enter the length in feet and inches or meters.
  4. Tap Save.
    Note: If you ever delete this calibration, all of your measurement markups will still be in place. However, they will be re-calculated when you add in a new calibration.
