titlePoint Coordinates

Determines the X, Y, and Z coordinates of a selected point on the model.

Expand
titleArc Center Coordinates

Determines the X, Y, and Z coordinates of the center of

an

a selected arc on the model.

Expand
titleSurface Point Coordinates

Determines the X, Y, and Z coordinates of a point on a selected surface.

Expand
titleTwo Edge Intersection Point Coordinates

Determines the X.Y, and Z coordinates of the projected intersection of two edges.

Expand
titleEdge Length

Measures

an existing straight line

the length of an edge on the model. The edge is highlighted when the pointer is properly positioned.

Expand
titleThickness

Measures the distance between a selected surface

you pick

and the nearest surface.

Every surface has a normal, that is, a vector perpendicular to the surface. When you pick a point on a surface, SpinFire

11.0

Ultimate searches the normal in the opposite direction until it comes across another surface. The thickness measurement is the distance between the point on the surface you picked and the corresponding point on the opposite surface.

Expand
titlePoint to Point

Measures the distance between two selected points

that you select

on the model.

By default, this command measures a line directly connecting the two points.

You can also choose to measure the distance between two points with respect to the X-, Y-, or Z-axis by selecting the appropriate radio button in the Point to Point dialog box.

titlePoint to Edge

Measures the distance between a

vertex

selected point and an

existing straight

edge on the model.

Expand
titleArc Center to Edge

Measures the distance between the center of

an existing

a selected arc on the model and an

existing straight

edge on the model.

Expand
titleArc Center to Arc Center

Measures the distance between the centers of two

existing

selected arcs on the model.

Expand
titleArc Center to Surface Point

Measures the distance between the center of

an existing

a selected arc on the model and

an existing

a surface point on the model.

Expand
titleSurface Point to Surface Point

Measures the distance between two points on a surface on the model or between two points on two

surfaces or on the same surface on the model

different surfaces.

Measures the length of a tube between first

and

last radii selections—generates the total centerline length.

titleSurface Point to Edge

Measures the distance between a point on a model surface

and a selected edge.

titleSum of Connected Edges

Measures the sum of any number of connected edges selected by the user.

Expand
titleMinimum Distance...

Calculates the most direct distance between two sets of points or surfaces.

Expand
titleMinimum Thickness...

Calculates the minimum thickness of a set of points or surfaces.

Expand
titleMinimum Distance Between Edges

Measures the distance between two edges of the model.

Expand
titleMinimum Distance Between Two Surfaces

Calculates the most direct distance between two surfaces.

Expand
titleMinimum Distance From Arc Center to Surface
Calculates the most direct distance from

a selected

arc center point to a surface.
Expand
titleBoundary Center by Edges

Measures the center point of a boundary defined by connected edges. SpinFire 11.0 will automatically find the connected edges that form the boundary and then determine the center point.

You may need to click more than one edge for SpinFire 11.0 to be able to determine the boundary center. For example, if you click an edge on a cube, SpinFire 11.0 will not know which square boundary you want to define. When you click a second edge, SpinFire 1.0 will then be able to calculate the boundary and determine the center point.

Expand
titleBoundary Area by Edges

Measures the area of a boundary defined by connected edges. SpinFire 11.0 will automatically find the connected edges that form the boundary and then determine the boundary area.

You may need to click more than one

edge

for SpinFire 11.0 to be able to determine the boundary area

.

For example, if you click an edge on a cube, SpinFire 11.0 will not know which square boundary you want to define. When you click a second edge, SpinFire 1.0 will then be able to calculate the boundary and determine the area.

Expand
titleDistance Between Two Surfaces

Measures the distance between two flat parallel surfaces.

If you select a second surface that is not flat and parallel to the first pick, an error message

appears

will appear.

The attachment point

from

on the first selected surface is projected onto the second surface.
