The distance between the points, measured in drawing units.

The incremental change (delta) in position between the points in both X and Y

The angle made by a line between the two points and the X Axis.

14.3.1 To calculate the distance between two points and their angle

1. Choose Tools > Distance.
2. Specify the first point.
3. Specify the second point.
Use the Distance command to calculate the distance (A) between two points (B and C), the angle in the xy
plane (D), the angle from the xy plane, and the delta x (E), delta y (F), and delta z distances between the
two points.
TIP: To use specific points on selected objects, use object snaps to precisely select the points
on the objects.
