The Geometry Distance Tool allows you to click on various geometries and measure the
distance between them. To use this tool, you must have geometries
defined on your image. (Use the Fit Geometry Tool for this.)
Select the Geometry Distance Tool and then select the geometries you want
to measure the distance between - the value will be displayed.
Right-click on the arrow to bring up the IPDistance Entity edit box, as
seen below.
Selecting the Preferences tab will allow you to adjust the format and choose if you want to flip arrow ends to point in or out. The format option allows the user to change the number of decimals that
the returned value is given in. For example: since the number is
currently set to %.3f it will return a number that has three
decimals...like: 155.309.
Selecting the Entity tab allows you to adjust the colors, thickness, size, type and
visibility of the distance arrow. You can also select a
Coordinate System. Make the necessary adjustments, click
Apply and then Close. (See help on that page);
The values will be updated according to
your selections.
Selecting the Render Style
tab allows you to adjust the colors, font, style and appearance of
the numeric value. Make the necessary
adjustments, click Apply and then Close. The style of the color distance value will be updated
according to your selections.(See help on that page)
