Description
The Measurement command opens a task panel to display information about selected objects. The command displays a measurement type that works with the given selection (distance for two points, area for a face, angle for two edges, etc). Measurement information can optionally be added to the 3d view.
The Measurement command is available in many (all?) workbenches.
Usage
There are two ways to use the Measurement command:
- Select the geometry to be measured (vertices, edges or faces).
- Press the Measurement button.
- A task panel opens showing the selected geometry and appropriate information.
- or -
- Press the Measurement button.
- An empty task panel opens.
- Select geometry to be measure. The task panel is updated with information about the selection.
In either case, press the Annotate button to add the measurement information to the 3D view.
To exit the Measurement command press ESC or the Close button.
Scripting
The Measurement command is available to Python scripts as TBD
