Moasure App Update: Our Favorite Measuring Tool Upgrades to Annotations, Custom Contour Intervals, and Faster CAD Layouts

Moasure, a leader in motion-based measurement technology, has rolled out its 3.2 app update, introducing a suite of new tools that bring greater control, clarity, and efficiency to on-site measurement workflows.

This update includes Voice Labeling, Custom Color Picker, Refreshed Cross-Section View, and Interface Improvements, alongside three standout features: Annotations, Custom Contour Intervals, and CAD Imports for Layout (exclusive to Moasure 2 PRO).

Together, these updates are designed to enhance both the design and layout phases for professionals in landscape architecture, construction, and site surveying.

This article breaks down 3 of the new updates and their benefits in the field.

1. Mark Up Measurements with Annotations

With the new Annotations feature, Moasure users can now add custom text directly to their measurement canvas.

This allows for quick labeling of site elements such as patio locations, planting zones, or utilities during the measuring process.

The text can be dragged, rotated, and scaled, then locked in place so it remains readable from any viewing angle.

For design professionals, this means clearer communication with clients, contractors, and team members when sharing measurements or importing into CAD.

2. Visualize Terrain with Custom Contour Intervals

Custom Contour Intervals provide a new level of flexibility when reviewing 2D and 3D contour maps.

Users can set both major (labeled) and minor (unlabeled) contour line intervals, tailoring the level of detail to their needs.

This can be particularly useful when fine-tuning grading plans, identifying subtle elevation changes, or simplifying terrain data for presentation purposes.

3. Speed Up Layout with CAD Imports (Moasure 2 PRO Only)

Exclusive to Moasure 2 PRO, the new CAD Imports for Layout feature allows DXF and DWG files to be brought directly into Moasure’s Layout tool.

The first layer of a CAD file can be imported, with points reordered manually or optimized automatically to create the most efficient layout path.

This integration streamlines the process of transferring designs from CAD to the field, reducing errors and saving valuable time on-site.

Why It Matters

For existing Moasure customers, the 3.2 update expands the tool’s ability to clearly communicate site details, customize terrain visualization, and integrate seamlessly with CAD workflows.

For professionals considering Moasure for the first time, this update solidifies the device’s growing role as a complete solution for precise measurement, topographic mapping, and design layout.

Alongside the 3 headline features in this article, users will also benefit from enhancements such as Voice Labeling, a Custom Color Picker, a refreshed Cross-Section View, and overall interface improvements—all of which contribute to a smoother, more powerful experience in the field.

Moasure 3.2 is available now for download via the App Store and Google Play.
