Measuring the Length of a Perpendicular Line
You can measure the length of a line that is perpendicular to a base line drawn between two points that you specify on the
screen.
1
Display the [TOOL MENU: MEAS/DRAW] screen.
2
Tap
[PERPEND].
3
Draw a measurement base line by specifying its end
points (A and B in the figure).
4
Specify the point to which you want to measure the
distance from the base line (C in the figure).
When this point is specified, a perpendicular line is drawn
from the point to the base line, and the length of the line is
displayed.
5
Repeat step 4 to continue measuring another
perpendicular line from the same base line.
6
To perform measurement by using a new base line, tap
[COMPLETE] or click the right mouse button to
terminate measurement using the current base line.
Then, repeat the procedure from step 3.
If the Capture function is assigned to the right mouse button,
tap [COMPLETE], instead of clicking the right mouse button.
7
To terminate measurement, tap [CLOSE] to redisplay the
[TOOL MENU: MEAS/DRAW] screen.
