Scale evenly

Use compass angle

When enabled, this option causes the Overlay rotation angle to automatically match the compass angle. For example, this is useful if you have imported a map and want it to always match the current North direction.

Resize using Known Distance

The Resize using Known Distance button is used to size the overlay based on a real world dimension. For example, if the overlay was of a house design, and you knew the length of one of the walls, then that length would be the known dimension that you would input.
