How to Measure Shapes

To use the Measurement Tool, you need to drag the mouse to define a straight line segment on the canvas. Then obtain the following information through the straight line segment. Here, the Starting Point of the straight line segment is defined as the Starting Point of the Measurement Tool, and its End Point is the End Point of the Measurement tool.

  • Length of Line Segment formed by Adjacent Intersections: If there are some or a large number of drawing objects on the canvas, even if they are not selected, the intersection with the straight line formed by dragging in the measurement tool will produce a large number of intersections. The length of the straight line segment formed by each adjacent intersection point will be shown in the form of an annotation and the display position is exactly in the middle of the two points. As shown in the figure below, the red ellipse border area is the line length information, and the blue ellipse covers the intersection.

  • Length of the First and Last Intersection: If the number of intersections is more than 3, the length of the straight line segment composed of the first intersection and the last intersection will also be displayed in the form of labels. The yellow mark is shown in the figure below.
