this is very basic but i need to check the scale of my drawing and was wondering how to bring up a tape measure tool to measure lengths of any distance; for example the width of a road in a plan
thanks!

In AutoCAD? Try the DIST command.

For any CAD data (DWF) you can use the measure tool in the free application - Autodesk Design Review. See Download.

 Check fill mode and lineweight.
