Coordinate measurement

 

 

 

This measurement type allows to know coordinates of a point relative to a frame (absolute frame by default)

 

  1. This Automatic mode is grayed in this mode because its not useful here, only points can be selected.

  2. Select the geometry (point or vertex) for which the coordinates must be displayed.

  3. The second geometry is grayed since you can only have coordinates of just one point.

  4. Check Keep analyses to keep result labels on screen until the analysis is running.

  5. Enter the accuracy of the measurement (the number of decimals).

  6. Select, from the drop-down list, the unit for the length.

  7. Check Display unit, if the unit should be displayed in lengths result labels.

  8. Display the result. By dropping down the menu, the results can be displayed in the menu in addition to the labels. This display in the menu allows you to use the standard copy/paste functions.

  9. Check Tabulated to copy/paste the results into a spreadsheet, each value will be pasted in a different cell.

 

 

  • You can select a point, a vertex, a line, an edge, a circle or an arc.

  • The coordinates indicated, if an edge is selected, are those of the middle point of this edge.

  • The coordinates indicated, if a circle or an arc is selected, are those of the center point.

  • A popup menu is available if there are several labels. This menu allows you to

- Delete the "current" label

- Delete all other labels (except the "current" label)

- Delete all labels
