We\u2019re querying our drawings for geometric information all the time. Long before our designs are dimensioned and annotated, we\u2019re retrieving or verifying things like distances, radius, and angles or even areas and volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, just like your designs evolve, so have AutoCAD\u2019s methods to retrieve this information. The LIST command gave way to the Properties palette (or even Quick Props) and so on. We\u2019ve had the individual query commands for years. The MEASUREGEOM<\/a> command is a one-stop shop for those I mentioned. But it, too, has evolved, and you may not even be aware of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 2020 release<\/a>, a new \u201cQuick Measure\u201d option was added, which measures 2D drawings simply by hovering your mouse! You can find Quick Measure in the Utilities panel in the Home tab of the Ribbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Quick<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When you run MEASUREGEOM in Quick mode, your cursor will change color and switch to full screen. The information displayed to you is determined by the first object each axis touches. So, as you move your cursor around, you\u2019ll notice that the temporary dimensions it creates are constantly changing. If you\u2019ve not used Quick mode before, that may sound annoying, but trust me, in practice, it\u2019s fantastic, and you\u2019ll learn to love it right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if one of your crosshairs touches a line, you\u2019ll get its length. If it touches an arc or circle, you\u2019ll get its radius. If both axes touch joined lines, you\u2019ll get the angle between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there are a few nuances you should know about. If the two lines being touched are perpendicular to each other, small orange squares will appear in the corners, indicating that the lines are at a 90\u00b0 angle. If you\u2019ve ever had a drawing where it looked like there was a 90\u00b0 angle, but it was actually 89.9998\u00b0, you\u2019ll love this visual feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s also a terrific visual for indicating that two lines are parallel. Note the images below. If one of your axes touches a line on both ends, a dimension will appear upon it if those lines are parallel. Don\u2019t see a dimension? They\u2019re not parallel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same goes for an angle display. Have you ever assumed two lines were joined, but if you zoom in far enough, you\u2019ll find that they\u2019re off by just a little bit? (you\u2019ve run into this if you ever worked with that one guy I did). If you don\u2019t see an angle when you expect to, they\u2019re not actually joined. With that being said, dear readers, please use Object Snaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Quick<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As I said earlier, AutoCAD continues to evolve, and the Quick Measure feature has already done so. The year after its release, it added the ability to display the Area and Perimeter of a closed object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply click within the geometry, and the area within will be highlighted green and displays the calculated values in the Command window and a dynamic tooltip in the current units format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you use Shift+click to select (or deselect) several areas, the cumulative area and perimeters are calculated. The perimeters of enclosed islands are also included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Measure in Action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s look at Quick Measure in action. I\u2019ve tried to capture everything you\u2019ll see in one animation, but no doubt I missed something. However, it will give you a good idea about how easy it is to query your geometry quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One other thing to note. Since the temporary dimensions stay the same size, and many may appear simultaneously, I recommend zooming in to the area you\u2019re measuring. If you\u2019re zoomed way out, you probably won\u2019t like the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Quick<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That’s All, Folks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wow! How\u2019s that for a lot of functionality? You\u2019ll quickly find yourself to be dependent on this fantastic new tool if you’re anything like me (and the jury is still out as to whether that is a good thing or not).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust me, once you\u2019ve tried it, you\u2019ll miss it if you don\u2019t have it. So, the next time you find yourself having to verify your drawing\u2019s geometry, give Quick Measure a try. I think you\u2019ll be glad you did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
