Path measurement

Path mode allows you to draw single-line measures, consisting of a single linear segment and multi-line measures, comprising multiple connected line segments

Note: Measurement labels are hidden when the camera is moved away from measurement line and appears again when the camera moves close to the measurement line.

With the Path measure tool, you can perform both point-to-point and multi-point measurements.

• Enables you to perform a point-to-point measure.

• Enables you to perform a multi-point measure along a path, instead of a straight line.
