Measure

You can measure the length of objects, the angle and distance between objects, and the radius of circles and arcs by tapping MEASURE, then tapping in the drawing area.

MEASURE creates a vertical and horizontal ray from the location of the pointing device, and displays the distance and angles between any objects the vertical and horizontal rays intersect.

You can also measure the distance, angle, or area of a sequence of points by selecting the desired option.
