Measuring CAD Models
The Measure button on the Standard Viewing toolbar provides access to the separate Measure toolbar with options for measuring the geometrical parameters of a given 3D CAD model.
With the Measure toolbar, end users can perform the following measurements of a CAD model:
Note
Measurements are displayed in the CAD model authored units.
- Measure Point to Point: a distance between two arbitrary points.
- Click this button and then click twice on a model to set these points.
- Measure Edges: a length or radius of an arbitrary edge depending on the edge type.
- Click this button and then click an edge. The measured edges are bold.
- Measure Angle Between Faces: an angle in grades between two arbitrary surfaces.
- Click this button and then click two appropriate surfaces.
- Measure Distance Between Faces: a distance between two arbitrary surfaces.
- Click this button and then click two appropriate surfaces.
- Click Delete All to clear a model from all measurements.
