Cut Out Area
Creates a new measurement document containing a subsection of an exist-
ing measurement. The size and area of the area is displayed in the Tool
Results panel.
One corner of the area is defined by the mouse cursor position where the
left mouse button is clicked, the opposite corner by the position where the
button is released. When the mouse is not moved between clicking and
releasing, an area is defined that has a size of 33% of the current measure-
ment, and is centred on the clicked location. Once an area is defined, it can
be resized by dragging one of its corners, and moved to the desired position
by dragging its centre point. It is possible to define a rectangular (i.e. non-
square) area by pressing the ‘Shift’ key whilst dragging a corner.
A new measurement document containing the area is created by double
clicking the graph, or by clicking the ‘Cut out area’ button in the Tool
Results panel.
Calculate Line Roughness
Calculates certain roughness parameters along a line. Both the selected line
and calculated values are displayed in the Tool Results panel.
The cross-section is selected in the same way as with the Cut out Line tool.
The calculated parameters are stored in the measurement document when
the ‘Store’ button in the Tool Results panel is clicked.
