Options
Every time you click on the New Measure button, a new measure will be defined that can be selected in this menu and can then each be varied.
This option controls whether the active measurement is displayed in the viewport.
The M&C tool allows you to store multiple measurements. A new measurement is created each time you click the New Measure button. Use the Selection drop-down list to choose which measurement is currently active and has its settings displayed in the Attribute Manager.
Deletes the active measurement.
This button creates a Measure object, which enables you to store measurements. The Measure object stores almost all options, parameters and measurements. See also Selection.
To change a Measure object's distance and angle values:
-
In the viewport or Object Manager, select the objects involved in the measurement.
-
Choose the M&C function.
- In the Attribute Manager, set Selection to the name of the Measure object that you want to edit.
A second measurement line is required if you want to measure an angle. To add the second measurement line, enable the 3rd Point option or Ctrl-click in the viewport. To delete the 3rd point and revert to a single measurement line, disable 3rd Point.
The check boxes can be used to enable or disable the values displayed in the Viewport.
In the value fields on the right, the same distances and angles as in the Viewport will be displayed. These can be modified here or interactively in the Viewport.
The -> options on the right can be used to define the direction of the measurement. This, for example, defines which of them will move an object that is linked with a measurement when the distance is modified (when both are active). Otherwise the selected object will be moved or rotated.
Here you can define the color of the border points.
Here you can define the color of the Rule line 1.
Here you can define the color of the Rule line 2.
Point 1
Shows the object included in the measurement .
Usually, you will not need to enter values here because they will be set automatically when you define the measurement lines. However, there is one option that you may need to set manually: if you set Mode to World, the corresponding object point will be defined as a fixed point in the world coordinate system. Among other things, this enables you to move two selected objects together.
