2D Linear Measurement

2D Linear measurements are divided into three types, namely:

• Normal

• Chain

• Staircase

Each type may be presented either horizontally, vertically or parallel to an arbitrary line.

Normal

Presents the distances between successive measure points, along a common dimension line. If the normal measurement contains only two measure points (that means, a single measured distance) it is called single, otherwise combined. A single measurement may be presented in four different ways.

Chain

Presents the distances between a base point and a number of successive measure points, along a common dimension line. The base point equals the first supplied point.

Staircase

Presents the distances between a base point and a number of successive measure points. The distances are presented along a common direction, but along separate dimension lines. The base point equals the first supplied point.
