Measure Between and Measure Item commands permit exact measures on inserted CGR files (created from CATIA V4 models, CATParts) as well as on Visualization mode geometry. This lets you make measures in Visualization mode without having to load the part. For more information, see the table below: the red cells indicate where an exact measure is not possible.

Don't forget to set the selection mode correctly. To make a measure with respect to an infinite plane means you must set the selection mode to Any geometry, infinite. |
