The Measurement command will allow you to measure the distance between two or more points on the design screen.  

To measure the distance between two or more points:

  1. Click one time with the left mouse button to set a point for the beginning of the measurement.

  2. Move the cursor to a new location and click one time with the left mouse button to set a second point for the end of the measurement.  The distance between the two points will appear along the measured angle.


    Start point A and endpoint B.

  3. Continue the process by setting additional point locations as necessary.  The distance between each point will appear with the total distance appearing at the end of the measurement.


    Continue setting points C and D as necessary.

  4. Press the Enter key to end the measurement.

  5. Start a new measurement, or press the Esc key to exit the command.

Note:

  • You can also use the Anchor Point and read a distance measurement in the Status Bar.

  • The Measurement tool is located in the Wizard of the Import command for assistance in determining the units of measurement used to create a DWG or DXF file.
