View the Measurements Report for Drawings
Objective
To view a report of measurements you have added to drawings in the project's Drawings tool.
Background
If you have added measurements to drawings in your project using the drawing markup tools, you might want to view and export this data to review numbers, calculate material costs, or possibly import into other estimation software. The Measurements report provides all measurements you have added to your project's drawings in a single location, which can help you track and manage installation, material orders, and estimation.
