Options

• :BETWEEN_POINTS - specifies two points to measure between.
• :HORIZONTAL - outputs the horizontal distance between the two points picked.
• :VERTICAL - outputs the vertical distance between the two points defined.
• :DIRECTION - outputs the distance between the two points defined, measured along the specified direction.
• :WORKPLANE - outputs the distance between the two points defined, when they are projected onto the active workplane.
• :POINT_EDGE - measures the normal distance from a point to a 2D or 3D edge.
• :POINT_FACE - measures the normal distance from a point to a face.
• :EDGE_LENGTH - measures the distance along a 2D or 3D edge.
• :RADIUS - specifies an arc, circle, cylinder, sphere or torus to measure the radius of.
• :MAJOR - outputs the major radii of a torus.
• :MINOR - outputs the minor radii of a torus.
