Draw Plan: The Wurth WDM APP allows you to draw a floorplan and send the measured distances from your Wurth Laser Distance meter (WDM3-19, WDM6-22 or WDM8-14) directly into your floorplan. Draw on Photo: If you don't like to draw a floorplan you can even take a photo with your iPhone or iPad from an object and draw the needed lines directly into your photo. With the WDM3-19, WDM6-22 or the WDM8-14 you then as well can send the measured distances directly into your photo. Auto Draw: A newly integrated sensor in the Wurth WDM6-22 makes it possible to create accurate floor plans simply by taking clockwise or counter-clockwise measurements of a room. Once all measurements are taken, the app automatically generates the plan. Keeping records of each measurement and the angle between any two of those measurements at the same time makes it possible. All measurements and floorplans can be exported as a JPG or a PDF format. If you don't have a Wurth Laser Distance Meter you can as well use the APP, but you must insert the measurements (with you steel tape, folding stick…) manually into your floorplan or photo. The following Wurth WDM Laser Distance meter are supported: Wurth WDM3-19 Wurth WDM6-22 Wurth WDM8-14 Wurth WDM9-24
