Viewing a Measurement

  1. Click Measure in the Inspect group on the Measure tab.
    Measure > Inspect > Measure
    Mouse over your design to preview the faces and edges eligible for measurement.
  2. Select points, curves, edges, or faces to display measurement information.
    Ctrl+ Selecting multiple objects displays measurement between them as appropriate. The value Min. distance between objects displays an exact measurement of the minimum distance between the objects you selected.
    Selecting multiple faces displays their total area.
    Triple-click a body to display its total surface area. Selecting a whole body in the Measure tool also reports the overall X, Y, and Z direction extents.
  3. (Optional) Hold Alt and select a reference object.
    The reference can be a point, curve, edge, face, plane, axis, or origin.
    You can measure to an axis of an origin object.
  4. Hover over a measurement value to display the semi-halo.
    • Click Copy to copy the measurement value to the clipboard for pasting into Notes, etc.
    • Click Flag to pin and capture the measurement and ensure unwanted changes cannot be made.
    • Click Record script to record parameters as a script in the script editor window, when scripting is enabled.
    When measuring edges and curves, the Minimum and Maximum Curvature locations are highlighted in the geometry when you hover over the result.
