Measurement Tool

The Measurement Tool is designed to calculate precise distances and angles within an embroidery design. Users can create either one or two measuring lines; when two lines are active, the tool also determines the angle between them. All measured values are displayed in real-time on the main control panel.

Access the Measurement Tool via the Tool Box.

To begin measuring, click the Measurement Tool button in the toolbox.

Place the first point anywhere within the Work Area, then place the second point to define the line. These points can be selected and repositioned just like nodes in the standard creation or editing modes.

The main control panel provides the following data based on your points:

The direct distance between the selected points.

Measurement Tool - horizontal part of the distance

The horizontal component of the distance (calculated along the horizontal axis).

Measurement Tool - vertical part of the distance

The vertical component of the distance (calculated along the vertical axis).

Measurement Tool - angle between the line and horizontal axis

The angle formed between the line connecting the points and the horizontal axis.

Measurement Tool - angle between the two lines

The relative angle between the two measurement lines.

Measurement Tool - length and two angles

The tool also supports a three-point configuration to form two lines. Place a third point in the work area to measure the specific angle between two distinct embroidery objects. In this configuration, the value labeled (5) represents the angle between the two lines.

Please note that values (1) through (4) refer to the currently highlighted line, while (5) consistently refers to the angle shared between both lines.
