: Measure the specified length, angle or area for the model.
Figure 1: Open the Measure panel.
Unit: The unit for the measured value. You can choose millimeters, centimeters, meters or inches.
Precision: The measured value is accurate to a few decimal places, up to a maximum of 6 decimal places.
Clear Measurements: Clear all measured data.
Close: Close the Measure panel.
Hovering the mouse over the model can display features such as Point, Line, Circle, Arc, and Plane. By clicking the left mouse button, you can select the features you want to measure. After the first feature is selected, you can click the left mouse button repeatedly to select the second feature among those different features. A maximum of 2 features is supported for measurement, and the distance or angle between the two features can be measured.
Figure 2: Select Plane for the first feature and Point for the second feature, and then measure the shortest distance between these two features.
Figure 3: Measure features on two models.
Supported features for measurement:
Ø Point – Point: the shortest distance from one point to another point
Ø Point – Line: the shortest distance from a point to a line, and the vertical distance from a point to a line (only the shortest distance indication is shown)
Ø Point – Circle: the shortest distance from a point to a circle
Ø Point – Arc: the shortest distance from a point to a curved surface
Ø Point – Plane: the distance from a point to a plane (the shortest distance= the vertical distance)
Ø Line – Line: the shortest distance and angle from a line to a line
Ø Line – Circle: the shortest distance from a line to a circle
Ø Line – Arc: the shortest distance from a line to an arc
Ø Line – Plane: the vertical distance from a line to a plane (the line is parallel to the plane); the angle between the line and the plane (the line is not parallel to the plane)
Ø Circle – Circle: the shortest distance from a circle to a circle
Ø Circle – Plane: the shortest distance from a circle to a plane
Ø Arc – Plane: the shortest distance from an arc to a plane
Ø Plane – Plane: the vertical distance from a plane to a plane (parallel); the angle from a plane to a plane (not parallel)
