If you want to check the geometry when entering model data, you do not need to set any Dimensions. The Tools menu offers several functions for measuring distances and angles.
Alternatively, you can use the
list button in the CAD toolbar.
Click the nodes and members for measurement one after the other in the work window. A dialog box provides information how to proceed. The "Distance" or "Angle" of the point available for the current cursor position is also shown in this dialog box.
When you have defined the last object, a dialog box appears showing the coordinates of reference points as well as distance or angle information.
Measure Function in Shortcut Menu
A measure function is also available in some dialog boxes, which you can use to graphically determine the distance for an input parameter. To do this, click the
button next to the input box. Then, select the Measure entry in the shortcut menu.
