PMeasure

Win64, English

Pholio
An Autodesk® AutoCAD® tool for fast, precise 2D length and area measurements.

General Usage Instructions

  1. Once installed, launch AutoCAD and type PMEASURE to open the floating palette.
  2. Use P_LENGTH to draw open polylines and calculate their total length, or P_AREA to draw closed shapes and calculate their area.
  3. The palette displays real-time updates of total values and logs each action.
  4. Use the palette buttons to delete selected entries or clear all measurements.
  5. All data is stored visually in dedicated layers (PMeasure_Length, PMeasure_Area) for clarity and control.

Installation/Uninstallation

The installer that ran when you downloaded this app/plug-in from the Autodesk App Store will start installing the app/plug-in. OR, simply double-click the downloaded installer to install the app/plugin. Make sure that the Autodesk product is completely closed when running the installer.

To uninstall this plug-in, exit the Autodesk product if you are currently running it, simply rerun the installer, and select the "Uninstall" button. OR, click Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features (Windows 8.1/10/11) and uninstall as you would any other application from your system.

Additional Information

  1. All measurements are recalculated dynamically from modelspace to ensure accuracy.
  2. Hatch applied to areas is non-associative and 50% transparent for visual clarity.
  3. Palette supports docking left or right, with memory of user preference.

Known Issues

  1. Hatch rendering may fail in rare cases due to complex boundary geometry. A fallback message is shown in the log if this occurs.
  2. Only 2D measurements are supported at this stage. Z-axis data is ignored.
  3. Polyline editing after creation does not auto-update totals. Use “Clear All” and redraw to ensure updated values.
