All measurements can be easily completed

and entered into the table by clicking with

the right mouse button in the image area.

This option, can be activated in the

program options.

Point to point

Measures the distance between two points.

Click on the start and then the end point of

the distance to be measured in the video

image. The distance measured appears

in the status bar under result.



Point to point (help lines)

Measures the distance between two points

as above but using vertical lines at the end

of the distance to be measured. This simplifies adjusting the measurements to straight edges. Click

on the start and then the end point of the distance to be measured

in the video image. The distance measured appears in the status

bar under result.


Point to line

Measures the length of the perpendicular from a point to a line.

First click on the individual point and then on the two end points

of the line. The perpendicular from the point to the line may lie

outside the range covered by the two end points. The result is

shown in the results window on the status bar.



Having marked a line  in the "Construct object" window or via the context menu, after one

click a measuring line is drawn to the marked line . The measuring is finished via the right

mouse button.



Circle to circle

Measures the distance between two circles.

Select three points on the first circle by clicking on them with

the mouse, then three points on the second circle. As soon

as the first three points have been clicked on, the first circle

appears. The second circle is drawn as soon as the sixth

point has been clicked on. The distance between the centres

of the two circles is drawn. It also appears as a measured

value in the result field.



Circle to line

Measures the distance between the centre of the circle and

the perpendicular to a straight line.Select three points on the

circle by clicking on them with the mouse and then similarly

select two points for the line. As soon as the first three points

have been clicked on the circle appears. When the fifth point

has been clicked on the line is drawn and also the vertical

distance from the centre of the circle to the line (or its extension).

For a line width of 1 point the line is shown dashed, for all other

line widths it is shown as a solid line. The distance appears in

the result field in the status bar.



Having marked a line  in the "Construct object" window or via the context menu, a circle is

constructed by three clicks, then a  measuring line is drawn to the marked line . The measuring

is finished via the right mouse button.


Chain measure

Chain measure continuously measures a series of adjoining lines.

The start point of the first line is clicked on first, then other points.

The length of the current last line is shown in the result field. The sum

of all the lines is then displayed if the object has been transferred

into the table.The table shows the lengths of all segments and the total.
