Does anyone have an idea on how I can dimension a "Cutting Plane View" from a scan of a traffic signal? The client needs sizes and lengths of all objects for structural analysis. Intended output would be a pdf of the elevation view.

Thanks in advance, Tommy 

Have I stumped everyone? 

I used the capture image to create the bottom image. Not the most ideal but may work in a pinch. You could then use Bluebeam to put together your normal template and the image. Or reimport the image into plane view and then use plan sets. 

Process:

• Activate desired Plane View
• Zoom to data
• Capture Image

* I would probably keep a couple points with know distance on the screen for scaling.

Thank you Patrick. That works good enough for me.

I did not realize you could Image Capture without a plotbox. And the Cutting Plane View does not allow you to draw a plotbox.
