Types of Measurements
You can measure the following types of entities:
Entities |
Measurement displayed |
point to point |
Distance between the two point and delta X, Y, and Z |
point to edge |
Projected perpendicular distance and closest distance from the point to the edge |
point to face |
Perpendicular distance from the point to the face |
edge to edge |
Perpendicular or closest distance, delta X, Y, and Z, total length, and angle |
edge to face |
Normal or closest distance and angle (Parallel is defined as the edge being perpendicular to the normal of the face plane.) |
face to face |
Normal or closest distance; angle if not parallel |
single edge |
Length of edge (distance between endpoints) |
single hole |
Diameter, X, Y, Z components of center point, and depth of hole |
two holes or circles |
Distance and delta X, Y, and Z between centers |
circles |
Center point X, Y, Z coordinates and diameter |
arcs |
Center point X, Y, Z coordinates, diameter, arc length, and chord length |
Circles and arcs must be on a plane.
Holes must be cylindrical and be identified by hole markers, which are inserted by the CAD publishers.
