Total sketch on Android tablet

[billo]

I recently had to get a new tablet (Android) due to leaving my old one on the back of my truck. When I downloaded Total for Mobile on my new tablet, the sketch program is now distorted. A 10' x 10' square is not square on the drawing, it looks more like 10x15 or 10x20. So my sketches in the field are distorted, which is OK on smaller homes but can get confusing on larger houses or houses with angles and/or curves. I have attached a screenshot of a 10 x 10 "square," and a 10 x 10 right triangle. When I download it to my computer, the problem corrects itself and a square is once again a square. Is anyone else experiencing this? (Tech support told me they had heard about this problem). Is there another drawing program I could use on my tablet that I can import into Total? Any suggestions are appreciated.

I attached a screenshot to illustrate the problem...

I got sick of problems like these and switched over to a Windows tablet with Apex and I've been living happily ever after. Not sure if this will help but you might try it. You'll want to alter the aspect ratio for that specific app.

AI Overview


To change the aspect ratio for specific apps on an Android tablet, use the built-in "Full screen apps" setting in the Display menu or use Samsung Labs for more options (16:9, 4:3). For many, navigation is: Settings > Display > Full screen apps, where you can select the app and choose "App default," "Full screen," or specific ratios.
