Objective

To add measurements to a drawing on the Procore iOS app.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • 'Read Only' or higher level permissions on the project's Drawings tool.
  • Additional Information:
    • Calibrations are per user, per drawing, but shared across devices.
    • Measurements only appear on your personal layer. They cannot be added to the public layer.

Steps

  1. Open the Procore app on your iOS mobile device.
  2. Tap the project's Drawings tool.
  3. Search and filter for the drawing you want to add measurements to.
  4. Tap the drawing.
    See the available options below:

Calibrate Your Drawing

The first time you add measurements to a drawing, you will first have to calibrate the drawing. 

  1. Tap the Calibrate tool.
  2. Find a place on the drawing where you know the measurement (e.g. the length of a wall). Tap and drag the calibration to the end of the length.
  3. Enter the length in feet and inches (imperial) or metres (metric).
  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.
