Parameters

Object1

Pointer to first object

Object2

Return Value

Minimum distance; -1.0 if no solution

Supported input object types include:

• swSelFACES (face)
• swSelEDGES (edge)
• swSelVERTICES (vertex)
• swSelSKETCHSEGS (sketch segments)
• swSelDATUMPLANES (reference plane)
• swSelEXTSKETCHPOINTS (point on origin)
• swSelDATUMAXES  (reference axis)
• swSelCOMPONENTS (component)
• swSelREFCURVES (reference curves)

This method includes these restrictions for drawings:

• Cannot measure between a sketch entity and a model entity
• Measured sketch entities have to belong to the same sheet
• Model entity measurements are based on the model origin
• Measured object cannot be a temporary geometric entity
