3D Radial Dimension Measures the radius at the location clicked.
3D Angle Measurement Measures the angle between two edges.
Units and markup options
To use the Units and Markup measurement tools, select the 3D Measurement Tool, and then right-click inside the
model.
Define Model Units Select to change the measurement units.
Enable Coordinate Display Displays or hides the coordinates of the mouse pointer location in the Measurement Info
Window.
Change Markup Label Type the text that you want to appear with the measurement, both in the 3D model area and in
the Comments panel. (Not available if Measurement Markup is not selected.)
Disable Measurement Markup Select when you want to take measurements in a model, but not add them to the
document. The measurements are only visible while the current measurement is active. If you start another
measurement or change tools, the markup disappears.
Don’t Snap To 3D Content Disables the ability to snap the insertion point to a likely target. Select this option to
improve performance when you are working with a large model. Return to Snap To 3D Content to ensure precise
measurement in 3D objects.
3D Measurement Navigation Tips Opens a dialog box that lists the keyboard shortcuts for several navigation shorts.
You can use these shortcuts while you are measuring.

generated from the original 3D model. Deselect this option to specify the units of measurements manually. This setting
can be changed in the 3D Measurement Tool palette.
Use Default Display Unit Uses units of measurement that you specify here rather than the measurement units in the
3D model.
Significant Digits To Display Specifies the maximum number of digits in the measurement number.
3D Measuring Line Color Specifies the color of the line that appears when you click or drag to measure an object.
Measure Feedback Size Sets the text size for the measurement display.
Angular Measurements Shown In Specifies units as either degrees or radians.
