About Measuring Entities
In Creo Direct part and assembly modes you can measure the dimensions of one or more geometric entities within a model. You can also measure mass properties such as volume, mass, and center of gravity of an entire model. The dimension types that you can measure are as follows:
• All the dimensions relevant for the selection
• Distance and maximum distance between two entities
• Length of a curve, edge, or a chain of curves or edges
• Diameter of a cylindrical or a conical surface
• Area of a selected surface, quilt, or an entire model
• Angle between two linear entities
• Volume of a model or a closed quilt
• Transformational matrix between two coordinate systems
Use the Measure tools, the Measure dialog box, or the shortcut menu for the measurement. After measuring, view the results in the measurement panel, the Measure dialog box, or at both the locations.
