Improved Measure Command
With the enhanced Measure command, you can now
preselect entities before you start the command. If the
selection set is compatible with the specified measure
tool, the results display. If the selection set is not
compatible with the requested measure command, the
selection set is cleared. For example, if three part edges
are selected before you choose to measure distance,
the selection set is cleared. If one object is selected and
it is compatible with the requested measure tool, the
selection is retained.
In assemblies, the default selection filter for the
measure distance command is now set to Select Faces
and Edges to support the most common workflows.
The selection filter is persistent. If the filter is changed,
that filter is active for the rest of the session unless a
new filter is selected. A preselected set uses a dierent
filter. A new session uses the filter defaults.
