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, which goes from the line to the point
• 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.
