Defining a Measure Between Probe

You can create a probe that measures specific parts or measures the area between parts.

Even if you have selected Resource Selection in App Options, its selection mode is suppressed for this command so you can select edges or surfaces.

  1. Click New Measure Between .
    The Measure Between dialog box appears.
  2. Select the options you want.

    Note: The system begins to compute the measurement when you select the second object. This may slow how long the selection takes.

    The measure appears in the work area. A thumbnail is created under Probes.
  3. In the work area, grab the measure and move it so that it is more visible.
  4. Click OK in the Measure Between dialog box.
    The measure definition and its display location persist, and the measure can be observed or modified if you right-click the thumbnail and select Definition.
