Distance
Distance [Ctrl+D]  button on the toolbar or [Tools > Distance] menu command provides measuring the distance between two points on the drawing.
| • | On the toolbar, click . |
| • | Left click to specify a start point. |
| • | Drag the pointer to the end point. |
| • | Left click when done or press right button for panning an image. |
The results of measuring will appear like the following window:
| o | Distance - distance between two points. |
| o | Angle in XY Plain - angle value between vector of the specified line and X axis in the XY plain |
| o | Angle in XY Plain - angle value between vector of the specified line and Y axis in the XY plain |
| o | Delta X is a value of the vector's projection on axis X as if vector was started from the beginning of the co-ordinates and has a length equal to the Distance |
| o | Delta Y is a value of the vector's projection on axis Y as if vector was started from the beginning of the co-ordinates and has a length equal to the Distance |
| o | Delta Z is a value of the vector's projection on axis Z as if vector was started from the beginning of the co-ordinates and has a length equal to the Distance |
| o | Set size as: - this option is very useful in custom drawings or CAD files without measuring marks. For instance, there is a rectangle with Height grater Width in two times. We measure it's height and set it's length equal 100 in the Set size as:. After that we measure it's Width and get Distance=50. The same way all the others measurements will be calculated respectively to the entered value factor: |
When we enter any value in the Set size as edit box, ABViewer calculates special scale factor basing on the real measured distance and entered value. This value can be changed manually in the options: unit's scale.
