Measure Distance

Icon	Description
	The Measure Distance command allows the user to measure the distance between two SnapTo points in the model. It also tells the user the angle of the line between those two points. To use the Measure Distance command, either click on the Measure Distance toolbar button, or select Measure Distance from the View menu.

Click on any SnapTo point in the model to select the first point for measurement. The Measure Distance dialog box will update to show the coordinates of the selected point.

Then click on the second point for the distance measurement. The Measure Distance dialog box will update to show the coordinates of the second point, as well as the distance between the two points and the angle of the line between them.

This can be repeated for as many sets of points as desired. The next time a point is selected, it will reset back to showing that point as Point 1 with the rest of the dialog box clear. To finish the distance measurements, click the Close button in the Measure Distance dialog box, press the <Esc> key, or simply select some other command.

To increase the number of decimal points at which the values are shown, increase the Precision using the Options – User Interface command.
