Customizing Measures

To suit your requirements, you can customize measures in different ways.

In the Measure panel, double-click Measure customization and select the required check boxes under Tab and 3D.
The selected measurement parameters appear in the 3D area and in the panel accordingly.

Important:
  • To modify the color of the measure information box, its border, and the font or size of the text:
    1. Select the measure in the 3D area and click Change the color of the measure on the context toolbar.
    2. Click the corresponding tabs for fill, edges and text, and modify the parameters as required.
    For more information, see Measure Tools.
  • The default unit of measure used is millimeter. However, you can change this in the preferences. To specify the units, select Me > Preferences > Main Preferences > Modeling > Units.
  • If, after a measurement operation but before saving the product/review, you modify the geometry where you created a measure, the measure will not be updated accordingly. The result of any such change to the geometry will therefore be that the measure is no longer up-to-date. However, automatic updating is possible. For more information, see Measure Tools. If the measure is associative, this is indicated by the appearance on the measure of the update symbol (for instance for Measure Item). In this particular case, you can update the measure before saving the Review. To do this, right-click the measure in the tree and select [measure_name] object>Measure Update.
