5.8.6 Measure Tool
The Measure tool is similar to the Slope tool except it measures the distance between
any two points on the Profile worksheet Data Graph. This tool adds a line labeled with
the distance values to the graph, and notes the change in X and change in Y (Delta X
and Delta Y) instead of the slope.
Figure 5- 46: Measure Tool
To find the distance between two points:
1) Select the
Measure
tool from the
Tools
menu.
2) Position the mouse pointer at a point on the curve.
3) Press and hold the left mouse button.
4) Drag the pointer to the end of the desired point on the curve.
5) Release the left mouse button when the pointer is at the desired location and a
slope line labeled with the change in X and Y appears on the Data Graph.
To obtain more accurate distances, magnify a portion of the Data Graph using the
Magnify tool and repeat this procedure.
To remove the annotated distance from the Data Graph, select the
Erase Objects
command from the
Tools
menu and follow instructions in the Tool status box (See
section 5.8.8 Erase Object(s)).
