Measuring 2 Point Distances

 

RevWorks, along with your digitizer, provides a Point to Point Distance function for measuring the 3D distance between two points.

Warning: Measuring distances using two points does not use Probe Compensation.

To Measure a 2 Point Distance

1. From the RevWorks toolbar, select ,
   or select Measure > 2 Points > Point to Point from the RevWorks menu, in SOLIDWORKS.

A prompt appears leading you through the data collection steps.

2. Digitize two points.

RevWorks places the derived 3D-distance measurement on the clipboard. You can easily copy it to a field in any SOLIDWORKS dialog box, or to any other place that accepts text input.

Note: The distance value placed on the clipboard is the true 3D distance between the two points. If a ball probe is being used, the distance is between the ball centers.
