Measure autocad

The following prompts are displayed. Places point objects at the specified interval along the selected object, starting at the endpoint closest to the point you used to select the object. Measurement of closed polylines starts at their initial vertex the first one drawn. Measurement of circles starts at the angle from the center set as the current snap rotation angle.

If the snap rotation angle is 0, then the measurement of the circle starts to the right of center, on its circumference. Specifies a starting direction for the arc segment. Specifies the second point and endpoint of a three-point arc. Draws a line segment of a specified length at the same angle as the previous segment. If the previous segment is an arc, the new line segment is drawn tangent to that arc segment. Removes the most recent arc segment added to the polyline.

Displays dimensions, distances, and angles within a 2D drawing dynamically as you move your mouse over and between objects. Determines whether the command always defaults to the Quick option. Otherwise, the last option used is the default.

Distance Measures the distance between specified points along with the X , Y , and Z component distances and the angle relative to the UCS. Multiple points Displays a running total of the distance between successive points. Radius Measures the radius and diameter of a specified arc, circle, or polyline arc.

Angle Measures the angle associated with selected arc, circle, polyline segments, and line objects. Arc Measures the angle formed between the two endpoints of an arc using the center of the arc as the vertex.

Circle Measures the acute angle formed between where the circle was originally selected and a second point, using the center of the circle as the vertex. Line Measures the acute angle between two selected lines. Vertex Measures the acute angle formed by specifying a point to act as a vertex and two other points. Area Measures the area and perimeter of an object or defined area. Specify corner points Calculates the area and perimeter defined by specified points. Volume Measures the volume of an object or a defined area.

Object Measures the volume of an object or defined area. Add volume Turns on Add mode and keeps a running total of the volume as you define areas. Subtract volume Turns on Subtract mode and subtracts a specified volume from the total volume. Distance, Area, and Volume Options You can specify options similar to those used in creating polylines when you use the Distance, Area, and Volume options.

Arc Adds arc segments to the total length. The second method is a more straightforward method. You can find all above information without using anything other than the DIST command.

We can see almost the same information we have gotten while using method 1, with the difference that the distance between the 2 points looks more detailed here compared to what was found using the previous method. This is due to the order of precision set in the dimension style manager. If the precision was set to give 4 decimal digits, both method would give the same result. The second method also has the particularity of giving the difference of delta X and delta Y of the 2 points which are respectively the distance difference seen from the x-axe and the y-axe of the points.
