List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Select object to measure:
Specify length of segment (page 615) or [Block (page 615)]:
Specify a distance or enter b
Length of Segment Places point objects at the specified interval along the
selected object, starting at the endpoint closest to the point you used to select
the object.
Measurement of closed polylines starts at their initial vertex (the first one
drawn).
Measurement of circles starts at the angle from the center set as the current
snap rotation angle. If the snap rotation angle is 0, then the measurement of
the circle starts to the right of center, on its circumference.
The illustration shows how MEASURE marks 0.5-unit distances along a
polyline, with the
PDMODE (page 1429) system variable set to 35.
Block Places blocks at a specified interval along the selected object.
Align Block With Object
 Yes. The block is rotated about its insertion point so that its horizontal
lines are aligned with, and drawn tangent to, the object being measured.
 No. The block is always inserted with a 0 rotation angle.
After you specify the segment length, the block is inserted at the specified
interval. If the block has variable attributes, these attributes are not included.
