Getting delta x,y,z coordinates with tape measure tool


Recommended Posts

Newbie question here: When working in 3D space, is there a way to easily get the delta x-y-z coordinate distances between two points? The tape measure tool returns the true lineal distance. It would be nice to be able to copy one of the coordinate distances and then paste into a move command. Alternatively, is there an align in 3d command similar to the 2d align/distribute?

 

Thanks, Bill

Gosh, I'm hoping I see an answer easier than my practice, which is to create orthogonal viewports, which inside their annotation space I can derive measurements / place dims correctly.
