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:

1. Measure Point to Point: a distance between two arbitrary points.
2. Click this button and then click twice on a model to set these points.
   

   

3. Measure Edges: a length or radius of an arbitrary edge depending on the edge type.
4. Click this button and then click an edge. The measured edges are bold.
   

   

5. Measure Angle Between Faces: an angle in grades between two arbitrary surfaces.
6. Click this button and then click two appropriate surfaces.
   

   

7. Measure Distance Between Faces: a distance between two arbitrary surfaces.
8. Click this button and then click two appropriate surfaces.
   

   

9. Click Delete All to clear a model from all measurements.
