Measurement Tool

Measurement Tool measures distances and angles in design. It allows to create one or two measuring lines. If there are two lines, tool measures also the angle between the two lines. Measured values are displayed on main control panel.

Use the measurement tool

to measure distance or angle between objects in design.

Place first point anywhere in the Work Area . Then place the second point. Points can be selected and moved in the same way as nodes in the creation/editing mode.

Main control panel displays measured distance and angles.

1

is distance between the points.

2

is horizontal part of the distance (distance along the horizontal axis).

3

is vertical part of the distance (distance along the vertical axis).

4

is angle between the line connecting points and horizontal axis.

5

is angle between the two measurement lines.

Measurement tool can use three points (two lines) as well. Place the 3rd point on the work area in the same way as previous points. Three points are use ful for measuring angle between objects. In such a case, (5) is this angle.

Values (1)-(4) refer to the highlighted line. (5) always refers to angle between the two lines
