Home > Measure

Measures the distance between two points on the model. Measurement works like a rolling tape measure with a continuous connection between the start and end points. Measurements are available in English or Metric units. Design Review shows you the points you selected, draws a line between the two points, and displays the distance between the points. To move the measurement after placement, click the measurement value box, and then adjust the location.

Before you begin, go to the Settings tab in the Properties window and check the Unit Display Options to make sure the measurements are in the format you need.

  1. Zoom in or move to the area containing the points you want to measure.

  2. Click Home > Measure and move the cursor to the measurement start point.

    The system displays a Distance window that lists the coordinates of the start and end points, the Delta X, Y, Z, and the distance. For more information, see Distance Window.

  3. Click the start point.

    CADWorx Design Review Pro users can hold the mouse over the area to see available snap points. There are snap points for Center, Endpoint, Quadrant, Nearest, Midpoint, and Perpendicular points in the drawing. You can filter which snaps display by holding the Shift key and Right-clicking the drawing, or in the settings tab. By default, only selectable points are shown.

  4. Click the end point of the measurement. As you move the mouse to the end point, a measuring line is drawn as shown below:

    The system displays the distance measurement between the two objects.

  5. Click the measurement annotation box, and then adjust the location of the displayed measurement as shown in the following illustration:

    The measure dialog will also display at the bottom of the main screen.

  6. Repeat the previous steps for other measurements.

Any measurements you take are not saved and are not displayed the next time you open the model.
