How to use to scale drawings in Visio

This video shows you how to use maps that have been designed to scale.
It will show you have to change your map so it can use all the measurement features and your map will be to scale.
It will also show you how to lock the map so it does not move around.
You will need a JPG image for this to work.

why cant you just draw it all up without the picture in background? it would still be to scale what ever you choose! im doing my backyard and was gonna buy visio, but i have no plans to upload, im just designing it.

You can take a Google Earth image of your backyard and have actual dimensions to design around. Unless of course you have a huge tree canopy blocking the yard from big brother. Lol.
