Measuring distances on screen
Measure the distance between two points on
screen using the Measuring Tape
command.
Measurements are shown in millimeters or inches,
depending on the option selected in the Windows
Control Panel. See your Windows documentation
for more information.
Try this! For more accurate results, zoom in
before you measure. The measurement is always
the actual size, and is not affected by the zoom
factor.
