Measure Solid Model dialog (PartMaker)

Use the Measure Solid Model dialog to measure any of the following on a solid model:

• Distance — Measure the distance between two points.
• Angle — Measure the angle between three points.
• Length — Measure the length of an edge.
• Radius — Measure the radius of the arc formed by three points.

To display this diDistancealog, select Solids > Utilities > Measure Solid Model.

Distance

To measure the distance between two points on a solid model:

1. In the Measure Solid Model dialog, select Distance from the Measure drop-down list box.
2. In the Solids window, select two points by clicking on the solid model. PartMaker displays the measurement details in the dialog, including:
   • the distance between the two points.
   • the incremental distances between the two selected points along the X, Y, and Z axes of the part coordinate system.
   • the coordinates of the last selected point in the part coordinate system.

   For example:

   

Angle

To measure the angle between three points on a solid model:

1. In the Measure Solid Model dialog, select Angle from the Measure drop-down list box.
2. In the Solids window, select three points by clicking on the solid model. PartMaker displays the measurement details in the dialog, including:
   • the angle between the three points.
   • the coordinates of the last selected point in the part coordinate system.

   For example:

   

Length

To measure the length of an edge on a solid model:

1. In the Measure Solid Model dialog, select Length from the Measure drop-down list box.
2. In the Solids window, select the edge you want to measure by clicking on the solid model. PartMaker displays the length measurement in the dialog.

   For example:

   Radius

Radius

To measure the radius of an arc on a solid model:

1. In the Measure Solid Model dialog, select Radius from the Measure drop-down list box.
2. In the Solids window, select three points that form an arc by clicking on the solid model. PartMaker displays the measurement details in the dialog, including:
   • the radius of the arc formed by the three selected points
   • the coordinates of the center of this arc in part coordinates system
   • the coordinates of the last selected point in the part coordinate system

   For example:
