Measure distances inside the editor.
Measure Point-Point:
l To begin Measure goto menu item: Info | Measure | Point-Point, or select Measure from the toolbar.
l Select anchor point, move mouse over your desired location and left-click.
l Now you may move the mouse location anywhere you desire. A window will display the distance & angle of the mouse location relative to the anchor point.
Note: Activating Snap: Object is an excellent way to ensure that your measurements are exact. To activate Snap: Object, goto menu item: View | Snap | Snap to Object.
Note: To force Orthogonal (90 Degree) snapping, goto menu: View | Ortho | 90 Degrees.
l Left-clicking in the editor again will reset Measure, so that you may select another anchor point.
Measure Object-Object:
l To begin Measure goto menu item: Info | Measure | Object-Object, or select Measure Object-Object from the toolbar.
l To select the base Object, move mouse over your desired Object and left-click. A white boundary will outline the base Object.
Note: The base Object can be nested within an insert.
l Now you may move the mouse over the next Object and left-click. A window will display the distance & angle of the mouse location relative to the anchor point.
