Deviation

Measure the exact deviation between two curves at a single location

1. Select the tool.

2. Click the first curve on the point from which you want to measure.

   Note: Curve selection order can make a difference in the curve-to-curve deviation results.

3. Click the second curve.

   A measurement appears indicating the distance between the selected point on the first curve and the closest point on the second curve.

   Note: The curves can be either free curves, surface edges, trim edges, isoparametric curves, or curves-on-surface.

4. Do one of the following:

   • Drag the arrowhead to move the measurement along the first curve. The measurement updates to show the distance between the new point on the first curve and the closest point on the second curve.
   • Drag the label to move it.
