• When defining the angle between two lines, the Measure tool takes into account the order of the
tool inputs. The angle from Line 1 to Line 2, for example, differs from the angle from Line 2 to Line
1. The tool reports the smaller of the two angles formed where the lines intersect. The tool detects
the intersection point of two lines, even if the intersection is outside of the vision sensor’s field of
view.
How the Tool Measures Two Points
The inputs to the Measure tool for measuring two points are any two points that vision tools generate. These

the points and the x- and y-component distances. In addition to finding these distance values, the Measure
