Description This command is used to measure and display the distance between any two points in the current document.

Use First, ensure that the CAMtastic panel is visible.

After launching the command, you will be prompted (in the status bar) to "Select First Point". Position the cursor at the location where you wish to start measuring from and click. You will then be prompted to "Select Other Point". Move the cursor to the end point and click again. Measurement information will appear in the Info tab of the CAMtastic panel, reporting the point-to-point distance measured, the coordinates of the start and end points, the X and Y distances and the angle created from the horizontal.

Continue measuring the distance between other points or press ESC to exit measurement mode.

Notes All measurement information uses the current units for the workspace - either inches or millimeters. Units can be changed either from the CAMtastic panel, or the Preferences - Drawing Modes dialog.
