Description This command is used to measure and display the shortest distance between any two objects 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 Object". Position the cursor over an object and click. You will then be prompted to "Select Other Object". Move the cursor over the required second object and click again. A visual connecting line will appear at the location where the distance between the two objects is the shortest.

Measurement information will appear in the Info tab of the CAMtastic panel, reporting this shortest point-to-point distance, the coordinates of the start and end points of the connecting line, the X and Y distances and the angle created from the horizontal.

Continue measuring the distance between other objects 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.
