"I downloaded the demo of Universal Desktop Ruler, and it is the best-suited onscreen takeoff that I have seen. I have spent the last few days comparing many of them, and reading things such as a review of onscreen takeoff tools by the U.S. military, and it is clearly the best. I downloaded it and was usefully using it in about 5 minutes. We will buy several copies for our company."

"I found your software by using google to search for an application to assist me in preparing quantities from scale drawings, specifically for landscaping and fencing contract quotations. I am a quantity surveyor and have managed to save a large amount of expense by using Universal Desktop Ruler instead of purchasing a planimeter to undertake the same job. Preparing quantities for landscaping and fencing works requires the measurement of both length (fencing) and areas (turfing etc) which are easily undertaken with UDR. I simply photograph the technical drawing with a scale ruler captured within the shot and use this image to prepare the quantities I need. I would like to see a function that allows measured areas and lengths to remain on the screen in user selectable colours so that the same area is not measured twice. A used editable function on the history database to label each measurement and then export this data to excel would be good. I am very pleased to have found UDR as it has improved my accuracy and productivity compared to using a traditional scale ruler and I would like to congratulate you on identifying and filling a much needed gap. I shall recommend this product."

"I came across Universal Desktop Ruler whilst googling for 'on-screen digitizers' as in my line of work (construction project management), it is necessary to measure from architect drawings regularly. I wanted a product where I could measure without having to print out PDF plans. ... Overall, a great piece of software! "
