Measure > Distance Object - Object (Annotate Menu)

This command can be used to determine the distance between two objects.

Any partial object in an existing object can be identified as the first reference object. This can be an edge of a rectangle or a circle arc within a surface. Ellipses and ellipse parts can not be identified.

If a circle or circle part is identified, then the position at which it was identified (the ID point) affects the rest of the command. See the graphics below.

If a circle or circle part is identified, then the position at which it was identified (the ID point) affects the rest of the command. The two ID points determine which of the two possible distances will be used (see graphics).

After entering the distance to be measured, a dialog appears showing the distance value.
