Measure Tools
Measure tools enable you to measure between points on items in the model.
All measurements are made in
display units (page 91).
Using measure tools is mutually exclusive to using navigation tools (see
Product-Specific Navigation Tools (page 107)), so that when you are measuring
you cannot navigate and vice versa.
Measure Tools Window
The Measure Tools window is a dockable window, which contains a number
of buttons at the top enabling you to select the type of measurement you
want to do.
For all measurements, the X, Y, and Z coordinates of the Start point and End
point are displayed in the text boxes underneath the buttons, together with
the Difference and the absolute Distance. If you use accumulative measure,
such as Point Line or Accumulate, Distance shows the accumulated distance
for all points registered in the measurement.
NOTE Z coordinate values are not available for 2D sheeets.
