Measure the distance between points on a toolpath during simulation

  1. In the Browser, select the setup or the individual operations you want to simulate.

    Tip: Hold the Ctrl key to multiselect operations.
  2. On the Manufacture workspace toolbar, click Actions > Simulate with Machine simulate with machine icon or Actions > Simulate simulate icon.

    A dialog is displayed, and the Simulation contextual environment opens, replacing all the tabs in the Manufacture workspace.

  3. On the canvas, click the point from which you want to start the measurement.

  4. Press and hold the Shift key.

  5. Place the pointer over any other points on the toolpath.

    A tooltip shows the coordinates, delta distance (X,Y,Z), distance in space, machining distance, and movement type.
