Measure
Radius
|
Used to measure:
- The
radius of a circle or circular arc.
- The
radius of a cone or cylinder.
- The
primary and secondary axes of an ellipse or elliptical arc.
- The
radius of a circular segment or axes of an elliptical segment of a complex
chain or complex shape.

Measure
Angle
|
Used to measure the angle between
two lines or segments of a line string, shape, or multi-line. If the selected
lines do not intersect, an intersection point is computed to serve as the
vertex of the measured angle.

Measure
Length
|
Used to measure the length of an
element(s) and analyze mass properties. For a closed element or a surface, the
length of the perimeter or wireframe geometry is measured.

enclosed by an element or a set of elements and to analyze mass properties. The
element(s) must completely enclose a volume; if a volume is not enclosed, a
message appears in the status bar.
