Measure Distance
The Distance option of the Measuregeom command prompts you to select two points on the drawing
and then returns information about the distance between them, their angles in and from the XY plane,
and their delta values (distance traveled along each axis) in both 2D and 3D planes. The information
is presented to you on the command line in the format shown below. You can also see it in the Text
Window by pressing F2.
Distance = 157.1924, Angle in XY Plane = 34, Angle from XY Plane = 0Delta X = 130.3938, Delta Y =
87.7889, Delta Z = 0.0000
The following image illustrates the values returned with the Distance command.
Process: Measuring Distance
The following steps give an overview for acquiring the distance between two points using the Distance
option of the Measuregeom command.
1.
On the ribbon, click Home tab > Utilities
panel > Measure drop-down > Distance.
2.
Select first point.
