Measure the distance between two points in the workspace using the Measure command. This command displays coordinates, distance and angle of the mouse pointer from a point corresponding to the center of a hoop in an empty design. View the measurements in the Status Bar or in a tooltip.
Tip For more accurate results, zoom in before you measure. The measurement is always the actual size, and is not affected by the zoom factor.
1Select View > Measure or press M.
2Click the start point.
3Move the pointer to the end point and hold the mouse still.
The following information displays in the Status Bar:
Position coordinates of the end point (X=, Y=).
Length of the measured line (L=).
Angle of the line relative to the horizontal (A=).
Measurements are shown in millimeters or inches, depending on current selection.
If activated, length and angle measurements will also appear in a tooltip.
4Press Esc to finish.
