Types of Measurements 
You can measure the following types of entities:

Entities
|
Measurement displayed
|
|
point to point
|
Distance between the two point and delta X, Y, and Z
|
|
point to edge
|
Projected perpendicular distance and closest distance from the point to the edge
|
|
point to face
|
Perpendicular distance from the point to the face
|
|
edge to edge
|
Perpendicular or closest distance, delta X, Y, and Z, total length, and angle
|
|
edge to face
|
Normal or closest distance and angle (Parallel is defined as the edge being perpendicular to the normal of the face plane.)
|
|
face to face
|
Normal or closest distance; angle if not parallel
|
|
single edge
|
Length of edge (distance between endpoints)
|
|
single hole
|
Diameter, X, Y, Z components of center point, and depth of hole
|
|
two holes or circles
|
Distance and delta X, Y, and Z between centers
|
|
circles
|
Center point X, Y, Z coordinates and diameter
|
|
arcs
|
Center point X, Y, Z coordinates, diameter, arc length, and chord length
|
Circles and arcs must be on a plane.
Holes must be cylindrical and be identified by hole markers, which are inserted by the CAD publishers.
