Using the measure tool
The measure tool calculates the dis-
tance between any two points in the
work area. When you measure from one
point to another, the distance measured
is displayed in the Info palette. The Info
palette shows the horizontal and verti-
cal distance traveled from the x and y
axes, the absolute horizontal and verti-
cal distance, the total distance, and the
angle measured.
All measurements except the angle are
calculated by defining ruler units in the
General Preferences dialog box or in the
Document Setup dialog box.
