Measure Tool Operations
Measure from a Point to a Point
In this operation, the distance between two points is calculated. In addition, the X and Y components of that
distance calculation are returned.
Along with distance, the following results are generated in this operation:
• A line from point 1 to point 2
• The angle of that line (relative to the x-axis)
• The midpoint of point 1 and point 2
Intersect Two Lines
In this operation, the results of the intersection of two lines is generated. These results are:
• The angle of intersection between the two lines
• The intersection point
Measure from a Line to a Point
In this operation, the software calculates the distance between a line and a point. This is the shortest distance
from the line to the point, and is generated by creating a line perpendicular to the original line that intersects
the point. In addition, it returns the distance calculations for the X and Y component.
Additionally, the following results are generated in this operation:
• The perpendicular line
• The angle of that line (relative to the x-axis)
• The intersection point between the original line and the perpendicular line
Measure from a Curve to a Point
This operation is available if a Bead Tool has been added to the inspection prior to the particular instance of
the Measure Tool being edited. In this operation, the software calculates the distance between a curve and a
point. This measurement can be from either the closest or the farthest point on the curve, and is selected in
the Bead tab in the Measure Tool.
