Information about coordinates of selected points

Function Coordinates info enables the user to review the coordinates of selected points in the model and to measure the distance between two defined points.

The function is easy to use. Once it is started, the user just selects (clicks) the required points (nodes) in the model and a simple dialogue shows the information:

• coordinates of the selected point in the global coordinate system,

• vector (in the global coordinate system) from the previous point to the last point,

• coordinates of the selected point in the current user coordinate system,

• vector (in the current user coordinate system) from the previous point to the last point,

• distance between last two selected points,

• angle defined by the last three selected points.

 

 

The procedure to obtain the information about coordinates

1. Start function Coordinates info:

   1. either through menu function: Tools > Coordinates info,

   2. or through tree menu function: Tools > Coordinates info,

   3. or through icon on toolbar Tools.
