Customizing Measurements
  1. From the Markup section of the action bar, click Thickness .
  2. Optional: Hover over surfaces to display a preview of items' thickness, and to highlight the surfaces involved in the measurement.
  3. Click the surface of the item whose thickness you want to measure.
  4. To measure other thicknesses, click Repeat , and select the surfaces. A measurement is created after each selection.

    Note: The behavior of previously created measures depends on the state of Keep previous measures.

    By default, Keep previous measures is active, and previous measures are kept when creating a new one.

    To remove the previous measure (that is, the last-created one) every time that you create a measure, switch Keep previous measures off. Note that this only impacts measures created after switching the option off (that is, all existing measures are kept).

    You can turn Keep previous measures on or off when the icon appears. Once you modify the state of Keep previous measures, it is kept for the length of the session.

    The Keep previous measures option must be off to measure the angle and arc using three points selection.

  5. Click OK to validate the measurement.
    The last-created measurement remains displayed. You can drag it to another position. You can also customize its appearance using the context toolbar that appears when you select the measurement.
