About the Measurement Panels
When you select one or more reference entities for measurement, a panel appears next to each selected entity with measurement results. If you select more than one reference entity, an additional panel with combined information appears. You can expand or collapse a measurement panel.
Open panel—An open panel has a header followed by the information area. The header appears with the following elements:
Reference entity name and ID—Shows the name of the selected reference entity along with its unique identifier if you have selected a single reference entity for measurement.
All References—Appears for panels that display combined information if you have selected multiple reference entities for measurement.
—Minimizes the panel to show only an icon attached to each reference entity.
The Information area has rows and columns of measurement results for the selected reference entity. Each measurement is shown in a separate row.
Measure—Shows the dimension type.
Value—Lists the measurement value.
Units—Shows the units of measurement.
Closed panel—Sometimes a minimized measurement panel appears as an icon on the reference entity. Click the icon to expand the measurement panel.
