Compatibility

Markups that travel.
Both ways.

Every consultant on a project uses a different app. ScaleSet PDF opens the markups they send as markups, and saves its own as standard PDF comments any reader shows. No export, no sidecar file, nothing lost.

  • Inside the PDFMarkups are saved as standard PDF comments, with their replies and status.
  • AppendedSaving one markup on a large set writes a few kilobytes. Every byte already there stays put.
  • Tool setsTool set files from other PDF markup apps import directly, symbols and all.
  • Never clobbersIf someone saved the drawing in another app since you opened it, Save stops and tells you.

Questions

Asked often.

Who is ScaleSet PDF for?

Everyone who works in a drawing set: architects, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and fire engineers, estimators, builders and document controllers. Each discipline has its own tools on its own ribbon tab. Find yours.

Will it open the markups our consultants send?

Yes. Markups made in other PDF review apps open as markups - clouds, callouts, measurements, layers and groups - and ScaleSet PDF saves its own as standard PDF comments that other apps read. PDF compatibility.

Do my drawings get uploaded anywhere?

No. ScaleSet PDF is a desktop app; drawings are opened and saved on your computer. The licence check carries only your session, which computer holds your seat, its name and the app's version. Security and privacy.

Is it free?

Reading is: anyone can download it and open, search and print drawing sets. The markup, takeoff and editing tools are licensed to teams, a seat per person, one computer at a time. Teams and licences.
