Move the cursor to the required second primitive then click or press Enter again. Position the cursor over the first primitive then click or press Enter. UseĪfter launching the command, the cursor will change to a cross-hair, and you will enter measurement mode. This command is accessed from the PCB Editor and the PCB Library Editor by choosing the Reports » Measure Primitives command from the main menus. This command is used to measure and display the distance between any two primitives in the current document. After selecting a start point, hold the Alt key to constrain movement to the horizontal, vertical, or diagonal direction depending on the initial direction of movement.Īpplied Parameters: Primitives=True Summary. To copy the contents of the Measure Distance dialog to Windows Clipboard, press Ctrl+C when the dialog is open. Measurement information is also presented, dynamically, in the Heads-Up Display. Double-click on a measurement result in the Messages panel to cross-probe to that measurement and have its measurement lines displayed again in the design space. The visual results (measurement lines) for each measurement remain displayed in the design space until cleared by using the Shift+C keyboard shortcut. You may need to temporarily disable the Electrical Grid if you find that the cursor snaps to the center of electrical objects. Change the snap grid if you cannot accurately position the cursor at the required points. To clear previous measurements from the design space, press Shift+C. Continue measuring the distance between other points or right-click or press Esc to exit measurement mode. The measurement is also entered as an entry in the Messages panel. The direct (shortest) distance is shown in yellow, with the X and Y distances in light blue. 
The measurement is also displayed visually within the design space, showing the measurement's X, Y, and direct distances.
The Measure Distance dialog will appear, reporting the point-to-point distance measured, the X (horizontal) distance, and the Y (vertical) distance in both metric (mm) and imperial (mil) units. As you move the cursor, a measuring line is displayed as an aid.
