Bill-CollaborativeMT Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment

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.

Bill-CollaborativeMT Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Here is how this works in FormZ. There is a toggle switch between absolute and delta x-y-z values. The direct linear distance reports to the screen.3D-MeasureinFormZ.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment
