Hello Maxdhavys,

No it is not possible to have a non continuous perimeter measurement using our products, and I am not sure it is allowed in the PDF specification at all!

Stefan

Pity :(

So, as we can add or delete control points, it will be very good if we could cut off perimeter without having to delete a whole perimeter.

Hi Maxdhavys,

As Stefan mentioned, this likely isn't allowed under the ISO PDF Specification, because the perimeter tool is designed only to measure the perimeter of one 'area' in one continuous line. I'm not entirely sure that I understand the use-case for having to cut off the perimeter and start measuring again from a different point as my understanding is that it would violate the concept of a perimeter measurement.

For now, the only way you can do this is to make multiple perimeter measurements and add the totals manually.

Thanks,
