Is there away that I can change the value/text of the distance tool via code.
I have users who want to use the distance tool to show measurements on a drawing, however this drawing is not to scale. Therefore they would like to place the measure annot and then be able to change the distance shown.
I know that you have the Edit Label feature, however this shows text above the dimension.
Thanks in advance
Simon

Re: Manually change measure text
Hello, lidds
No, there should not be a way to do this programmatically. This is because the PDF specification defines that all measurements must display a calculated value with a relevant scale recorded in the annotation (though in theory you could change the scale property of the annotation, I am not certain how you would go about allowing a user to enter a line distance value, and then internally calculate the appropriate scale for that object).
As such, I might suggest that user place an normal line tool, and add the necessary endcaps for appearance, and inline text as desired.
Kind regards,
