How to Change the Measurement Units and Drawing Scale

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM enables choosing the most suitable scale and units of measurement with just one click.
There are different units of measurement that can be used for length dimensions. When making scaled drawing we can't keep in mind just meters, centimeters, and millimeters; we also need to remember about yards, feet, and inches. This is because the United States applies its own system of measurement units, while the rest of the world employs metric measurement units. This article explains how you can change the scale and measurement units in a ConceptDraw DIAGRAM drawing.

How to Resize Objects

When creating a diagram using ConceptDraw DIAGRAM, you can select, move, resize and rotate objects. After selecting an object (or objects) in a document, you can change its position, resize it or move an object to the desired position. The sizes of objects in the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM can be changed by simply dragging, or you can set a particular size of an object. Using ConceptDraw DIAGRAM, you can re-size an object on the page using the absolute measurements instead of a mouse. You can make quick work of designing complex drawing using a combination of different-sized items.

How to Create a Floor Plan

Making a floor plan is the best way to get a handle on how to organize your living space and find out what could be changed. Creating a floor plan to scale is a challenge of the home and interior design process and can be noticeably helpful for visualizing things like furniture layout. You can use ConceptDraw DIAGRAM to produce layouts of real estate properties. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM contains the large quantity of pre-designed vector objects that you can use for quick and easy designing such floor plans. You can easily determine the size of the rooms and distances in your drawing. The ability to create a floor plan is delivered by the Floor Plans solution. This solution extends ConceptDraw DIAGRAM with libraries that contain over 500 objects of floor plan elements. There is a set of special objects that display the sizes, corners, squares and other technical details using the current measurements of units.

How to Create a Column Chart

The question how to create a column chart have a simple answer. Use ConceptDraw tips to find out how to create a column chart depicts your data the best way.
The vector stencils library "Lamps, acoustics, readouts" contains 35 element symbols of lamps, acoustic components, electrical measuring instruments for drawing electrical schematics and electronic circuit diagrams.
"Electrical measurements are the methods, devices and calculations used to measure electrical quantities. Measurement of electrical quantities may be done to measure electrical parameters of a system. Using transducers, physical properties such as temperature, pressure, flow, force, and many others can be converted into electrical signals, which can then be conveniently measured and recorded." [Electrical measurements. Wikipedia]
"A lamp is a replaceable component such as an incandescent light bulb, which is designed to produce light from electricity." [Lamp (electrical component). Wikipedia]
"An electric bell is a mechanical bell that... functions by means of an electromagnet. When an electric current is applied, it produces a repetitive buzzing or clanging sound." [Electric bell. Wikipedia]
"A buzzer or beeper is an audio signalling device, which may be mechanical, electromechanical, or piezoelectric." [Buzzer. Wikipedia]
"Electronic sirens incorporate circuits such as oscillators, modulators, and amplifiers to synthesize a selected siren tone (wail, yelp, pierce/ priority/ phaser, hi-lo, scan, airhorn, manual, and a few more) which is played through external speakers." [Siren (noisemaker). Wikipedia]
"A microphone (colloquially called a mic or mike...) is an acoustic-to-electric transducer or sensor that converts sound in air into an electrical signal. ...
Most microphones today use electromagnetic induction (dynamic microphone), capacitance change (condenser microphone) or piezoelectric generation to produce an electrical signal from air pressure variations." [Microphone. Wikipedia]
The symbols example "Design elements - Lamps, acoustics, readouts" was drawn using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Electrical Engineering solution from the Engineering area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

How to Create the Custom Diagram Template

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM enables you to place your own templates. You can create a diagram with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using your custom Template. You can set up your Template as a default ConceptDraw DIAGRAM start page. A template diagram is a drawing that serves as a starting point for a new graphic document. When you open a template, it is pre-formatted in some way. For example, you might use template that is formatted as an organizational chart. The template would likely have a workspace and a corresponding object libraries. When you save a file created with a template, you are usually prompted to a copy of the a, so that you don't save over the supplied with. customize your can either come with a proper solution or can be created by the user. If you find yourself creating similar documents over and over again, it might be a good idea to save one of them as a template. Then you won't have to format your template that each time you want to make a new one. Just open the template and start from there.
