Use the Measure Tool to accurately measure any parcel or any area (polygon or circle) or line that you draw on the map. You might use this tool to measure a parcel such as development property or a parking area. Or simply draw a line to measure the street frontage of a building.
Tip:
To quickly measure more than one parcel, drawing, or feature on the map, click Measure On in the Drawing icon menu. LandVision™ measures each property, shape or feature that you click on - one at a time. To turn off this option, click Measure Off on the same menu. |
Note:
LandVision™ displays measurements that are less than 2 acres in square feet, and more than 2 acres in acres.

Additional Tips & Notes:
- Depending on the shape or size of a measured parcel or drawing, you may have to zoom in for a clearer view of the measurement labels.
- Print the map with the measure tool on if you need to keep a record of the measurements displayed in the measurement labels.
- The toolbar also contains options for quick measurements. These measurements can't be printed and will disappear as soon as you move the map.
