To Display Continuous Distance

You can add and display the distance between one point and a number of other points, or between a series of points.

The Base option measures the distance from the starting point to each of the points you select.

The Continuous option measures the distance from the starting point to the next point in a continuous line.

Tip: To add distances that are not continuous, see To Add Distances.
