Measure Page

Use the options on this page to adjust the appearance and style of the measure lines.

Line Thickness

Specifies the thickness of the measure lines.

In 3D

Select this check box to draw the measure lines in 3D.

If the measure lines become obscured by other geometry, clear this check box to draw the lines in 2D over the top of geometry.

Show Measurement Values in Scene View

Select this check box if you want to display the dimension labels in the Scene View.

Use Center Lines

When this check box is selected, the shortest distance measurements snap to the center lines of parametric objects.

When this check box is clear, the surface of the parametric objects is used for the shortest distance measurement instead.

Note: Changing this option does not affect any measurement currently in place. To see any changes, clear the measurement, and start again.
Auto-zoom when measuring shortest distances
Select this check box to zoom the scene view into the measured area (shortest distances).
