Description
The Std MeasureDistance command creates a distance object that measures and displays the distance between two points.
Usage
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the Std MeasureDistance button.
- Select the Tools → Measure distance option from the menu.
- Select the first dimension point anywhere on an object in the 3D view.
- Select the second dimension point anywhere on an object in the 3D view.
- The selection order of the points can have an impact on the position of the dimension line.
- Optionally flip the position of the dimension line by changing the ViewMirror property of the distance object.
Notes
- You cannot use the Draft snap tools with this command.
- To add dimensions to drawings use the dimension tools from the TechDraw Workbench.
- For more comprehensive measuring tools, install the Manipulator Workbench (an external workbench).
Properties
Data
Base
- DataLabel: by default the label contains the measured distance, but this distance is not updated when P1 or P2 are later changed.
Measurement
- DataP1: the first dimension point.
- DataP2: the second dimension point.
- DataDistance: (read-only) the measured distance between P1 and P2.
View
Base
- ViewDist Factor: this factor, multiplied by the measured distance, determines the dimension line offset.
- ViewFont Size: the height of the letters (line height in pixels).
- ViewMirror: if set to
true
the position of the dimension line relative to P1 and P2 is flipped.
