To Replace an Entity Selected for Measurement
There are two ways to replace a reference entity that is selected for measurement.
Use the Replace command
To use this procedure, you must have selected more than one reference entity for measuring.
1. In the Measure dialog box, right-click an entity under the Setup area and select the Replace check box.
2. Select a new entity. This selection replaces the entity in step 1.
You can continue replacing one entity after another as long as the Replace check box is selected for the entity that you are replacing.
Use the measure_auto_replace_mode configuration option
This procedure can be used during distance, angle, or transform measurement.
1. Set the measure_auto_replace_mode configuration option to yes.
2. Select two reference entities.
3. Select a new entity. This selection replaces the second entity that was selected in the Measure dialog box.
You can continue replacing one entity after another for the second entity.
