Measuring Depth
Measuring Depth
RevWorks, along with your digitizer, provides a Depth function for measuring the perpendicular distance from a SolidWorks plane to a point in space.
To Measure Depth
-
Select the SOLIDWORKS plane relative to which you want to measure.

Warning: Depth is measured from the active sketch plane. If no sketch is active, RevWorks uses the currently selected plane or planar part face to measure depth. If you do not select a plane, sketch, or planar part surface to measure against, RevWorks displays a message informing you to select one before continuing. |

From the RevWorks toolbar, select
,
or select Measure > Depth from the RevWorks menu in SOLIDWORKS.
A prompt appears leading you through the data collection steps.

Digitize the location.
RevWorks places the derived measurement on the clipboard. You can easily copy it to the Depth field of the SOLIDWORKS Extrude Feature dialog box, or to any other place that accepts text input.
