Changing Dimensions
SmartDraw's crime scenes (much like SmartDraw's floor plans) are drawn using a set 1": 48" or 1": 4' scale (This means that one inch on paper equals 48 inches or 4 feet in real life).
To display the "real-world" size of any object or wall segment, select the shape or wall and choose Show Dimensions button from the SmartPanel.
Here, in the Dimension dialog you can set the object to display its dimensions: "Always," "Only when selected", or "Never." Choose the appropriate option for you.
You can then use an object's growth handles to grow or shrink it and make it fit the measurements taken at the scene.
Alternatively, you can use the Position and Size dialog in the Position & Size group under the Design tab to set the object's exact dimensions without using your mouse.
