Measurement Transfer
The
Measurement Transfer
tool creates a point on a ray, on a vector, from the initial point of a
polygon, or from another point at a distance proportional to a selected measurement or numerical
value. From a point on a circle, the point created is at an equivalent arc length. The direction of the
distance or arc length depends on the sign of the selected numerical value.
The magnitude of the measurement transferred is represented without regard to units.
Creating a measurement transfer
1.
Select
Measurement Transfer
from the
Construct
toolbox.
2.
Point to any measurement or numerical value and
click to select.
3.
To construct:
4
a point at a proportional linear distance, select a
ray, vector, polygon, or point. If you select a
point, a dotted line appears. Position the dotted
line as you want it, and click to set the position.
4
a point at a proportional arc length away, select
a circle, and then select (do not create) a point
on the circle.
Select a numerical value.
Select a ray.
The point created is an equivalent
distance from the endpoint of the ray.
Select a
numerical value.
Select
a circle.
Select an existing
point on the circle.
The point created is an
equivalent arc length from the
existing point.
