Description

Path

Path mode allows you to draw point to point measurement and multiple line measurement. You can draw multiple line segments sequentially until the path measure is confirmed.

Thickness

Thickness measures, represented by a dotted line indicating the thickness of an object.

Diameter

Diameter measures, featuring a dotted line denoting the diameter of a cylindrical component, accompanied by a circular outline encasing the element.

Units

Enables you to select the measurement unit to display; for example: meters (m), centimeters (cm), inches (in), feet (ft). The distance will be calculated based on type of units you select.

Lock

The Lock button enables you to apply constraints on the axes. You can switch between no lock, Y lock, and XZ lock. For more information, see XYZ Constraints (Discontinued).

  • No lock - Draw measure lines on all the axes.

  • Y lock - Draw a measure line only on the Y- axis

  • XZ lock - Draw a measure line only on the XZ plane.

Delete All

Delete all deletes all the current measures drawn.

When using Lock mode

Lock mode constrains the drawing of the measurement to the Y axis.

It is valid when drawing a vertical line with Lock mode enabled to choose an end point in the sky; however, not the starting point.

Delete a measurement

  1. Move the mouse over the line of the measure to be deleted. The line becomes thicker confirming selection.

  2. Click the mouse over the line to remove it.
