Measuring and Dimensioning
Tip: The Measuring tool displays as a yellow measuring tape as shown in the following
illustration. If you prefer a thin black line which does not obscure the work surface click the
Rubberband Black Line button on the far right of the Measure Mode Property Bar.
3 To turn the displayed measurements into printable objects, click the Convert Tape to
Objects button on the Property bar. The displayed measurement becomes Small Text
and the tape is converted to an arrow. You must convert each measurement to objects
before using the Measuring tape again.
4 Measurements that have been converted to print objects can be output to a printer. If
you wish to print the job without the measurement objects you must delete them from
your job.
Note: If using Convert Tape to Objects, the small text used is based upon the preferences in the
small text dialog box.
To make multiple measurements from the same start point
1 You can make multiple measurements from the same start point by using the Delete
Last Point button (Backspace keyboard shortcut) on the Property bar.
2 After making an initial measurement, click the Delete Last Point button (or press
Backspace) to return to the initial measurement set point. You can then click a second
time to measure from that point again.
