Improvements have been made to the Measure Tool functionality and user interface.
Point-to-Point Mode
You can measure the distance between two points on your model. This mode supports snapping to model faces and edges, as well as midpoints, quadrant points, and intersections.
Arc/Circle Measurements
You can create measurements with custom arc conditions. For example, you can measure the distance from the center of one arc or circle to the outer edge of another. Use drop-down menus on the Measure callouts in the graphics area to toggle between center, maximum, minimum, and custom distances.
Last Used Settings
The Measure tool retains settings from the last time it was used.
