Euclidean distance (shortest path) to the geometry. Lock Reference (line, point, or surface) Makin has the ability to work with multiple active references at the same time. This allows the user to activate, and work with the references when moving the toolpoint over them. The active reference will automatically switch to the one closest to the tool point.
