Delete Measure
Deletes the active measurement.
Create Object
This button creates a Measure object, which enables you to store measurements. The Measure object
stores almost all options, parameters and measurements. See also ‘Selection’.
To change a Measure object’s distance and angle values:
1. In the viewport or Object manager, select the objects involved in the
measurement.
2. Choose the M&C function.
3. In the Attribute manager, set Selection to the name of the Measure object
that you want to edit.
3rd Point
A second measurement line is required if you want to measure an angle. To add the second
measurement line, enable the 3rd Point option or Ctrl-click in the viewport. To delete the 3rd point
and revert to a single measurement line, disable 3rd Point.
Measure, Distance, Angle, ->
The Measure options dene whether the distance and angle values are displayed in the viewport.
Distance 1 and Distance 2 dene the length of the two measurement lines. Angle denes the angle
between the measurement lines. You can change these values in the Attribute manager or interactively
in the viewport (drag the values).
The options on the right (‘->’) dene the direction of the measurement. If both objects are selected,
the options dene which object will be moved or rotated when you change the distance value;
otherwise, the selected object will be moved or rotated.
Colors
Denes the viewport display colors for the measurement lines (Rule 1 and Rule 2) and the end points
(Points).
Point 1, Point 2, Point 3
Here you’ll nd information about the objects being measured, including the names of the objects and
the index numbers and positions of the points at the ends of the measurement line(s).
