Used to measure the length
of an element(s) and analyze mass properties. For a closed element or a
surface, the length of the perimeter or wireframe geometry is measured.
You can access this tool from the following:
Ribbon:
Drawing > Analyze > Measure
Toolbox:
Measure
Measurements of referenced perspective saved views are not
supported.
If on, a graphic crosshair that represents the
center of mass for the measured element(s) is displayed.
Use reference scale
Allows users to measure in true model units while
in a Sheet model that contains a scaled reference file. This checkbox is off by
default.
Note: This setting
is only applicable in the Sheet models.
Flatten Direction
Sets how measurements for the length are reported.
None ? Measures the
true length in 2D and 3D sheet and design models.
Flatten to View ?
Measures the projected length based on the view rotation. Not recommended for
use in 3D design models. For 3D data referenced to a 2D Design model or 2D
sheet model or 3D sheet model the projected distance is reported.
Flatten to ACS
Plane ? Measures about the active Auxiliary Coordinate System (ACS) or in the
ACS XY plane. Results are projected about the ACS Z or on the ACS XY plane.
Flatten to AccuDraw
Plane ? Measures about the AccuDraw compass XY or about AccuDraw Z. Results are
projected about the AccuDraw Z or on the AccuDraw XY plane.
