Teckniel Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) Hello, I'm creating a small cad like application and looking for some advice on how to implement drawing a line in mm/cm/m. what i have for the moment is a container that holds a other container that is the drawing board. I want the drawing board to have the size of a a4 (later to print/plot to a printer) The Line drawing function is in pixels for the moment but i want to be able to draw it in mm I Guess i have to get the users screen dpi and covert it to the needed size of targeted format? Like for example: A Users screen has a dpi/ppi of 300 So the A4 format = 2480px x 3508px But now i want to draw a line that is 5 meter long how would i go about that? I Guess i have to take the total line length convert it to pixels and apply scaling? I would like to have some advice on how to approch this examples also welcome ofc. Thanks in advance!
