Hi. I want to scale the content of my pictureframes (in scale technical drawings) in a precise manner. There is the scale-slider at the bottom, but can I somehow type in the exact percentage I want it to be?

Welcome to the Affinity forums @Arch.Simon! Click the picture frame and have a look at top context toolbar.

Thanks for the quick respond. This works for pixel images but somehow not for pdf placed in pictureframes. Or am I using the wrong tool for placing pdfs of CAD-drawings?

No, you are not using the wrong tool. In 1.8.x you cannot scale a PDF via the context toolbar. You can use the Transform panel to percentage scale the PDF, but you are not going to see with which percantage the PDF is scaled. In upcoming 1.9.x you can place a PDF and use the context toolbar for percentage scaling.
