New and Improved Measure Workflows and Graphics
The Inventor measure tools and workflows have been greatly simplified and improved to be more user friendly and intuitive.
To Measure Distance, Length, Angle, Loop, or Area in Model
Access all measure workflows from a single Measure command on the Tools tab on the ribbon in the part and assembly environments.
Use one of the following methods to measure an angle:
1. Select the first point of the angle to measure in the graphics window. | 2. Select the next point of the angle to measure in the graphics window. | 3. Press and hold SHIFT and select the third point of the triangle. |

Minimum Distance, Center to Center Distance, and Maximum Distance
Minimum Distance and Center to Center distance now display at the same time when at least one of the following types of geometry are selected.
Maximum Distance also displays when 2 of the following types of geometry, on the same plane, are selected: Vertex, line, arc and circle.
Easily toggle between Minimum Distance, Center to Center Distance, and Maximum Distance for the distance delta value.
Center Distance | Minimum Distance | Maximum Distance |
