==Use==
# Click on [[Image:Std_MeasureDistance.png|32px]] or choose {{KEY| Tools}} → {{KEY|[[Image:Std_MeasureDistance.png|32px]] Measure Distance}} from the top menu.
# Select first point in 3D view.
# Select second point in 3D view.
# The absolute distance between the two points will be calculated and displayed in the 3D view.
# A distance object will be created in the tree view.


==Limitations==
The tool lets you only select points by clicking in the 3D view.
You can't use the snap tools from the draft workbench to allow specific selecting of special points.

==Notes==
For more possibilities concerning measuring/dimensioning you can use
# the [[Std Measure Menu|Measure-Tools]] from part workbench
# the [[Draft Dimension|Draft Dimension]]-Tool from draft workbench
# the [[Arch Survey|Arch Survey]]-Tool from arch workbench
