Calculate Angles, Areas, and Distances

Calculate an Angle Between Two Lines

1. Click Review tab > Measure panel > Measure drop-down > Angle .

2. Click a point on the first line.

3. Click the first line at the point where it intersects the second line.

4. Click a point on the second line. The optional dimension label displays the calculated angle between the two lines.

   

Calculate an Area on a Plane

1. Click Review tab > Measure panel > Measure drop-down > Area.

2. Click to register a series of points to describe the perimeter of the area you want to calculate. The optional dimension label displays the area of the perimeter described since the first point, as projected onto the plane of the viewpoint.

   

   Note: For your calculation to be accurate, all added points must be on the same plane.

Calculate the Sum Total of Several Point-To-Point Measurements

1. Click Review tab > Measure panel > Measure drop-down > Accumulate.

2. Click the start and end points of the first distance to be measured.

3. Click the start and end points of the next distance to be measured.

4. Repeat to measure more distances if necessary. The optional dimension label displays the sum of all point-to-point measurements.
