Shop drawings, scaled PDFs and the small measuring tool I ended up making

Wait 5 sec.

Quick heads up that this is my own thing. Layr PDF lets you set the scale on a drawing, take measurements, mark it up and pull simple takeoffs. I built it around cabinet and millwork bids, where most of the job is reading PDFs and writing on them. Windows, Mac or browser. $35 a year after a 7-day trial, no card needed to start. One thing I keep going back and forth on is how much to show on the measure tool by default. Some people want every dimension labeled, others find that cluttered. If you measure off plans, which way do you lean? https://layrpdf.com/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mitch_builds_promo&utm_content=2026-11-13   submitted by   /u/AshamedParamedic6930 [link]   [comments]
