Measuring tool

My measuring tool is giving me incorrect measurments some of the time and correct ones other times.

Incorrect measurements are very large, in the vasitnity of 10 times bigger than the actual but not exactly 10 times bigger so its not a unit issue.

How do i fix this.

Can you upload a sample drawing so we can have a better idea of what happened?

Please find drawing attached, the incorrect measurments occur with some lines and not others almost like they have a different reference point

I am not sure which lines have the problem. The Z value of start point and end point of some lines are not at 0.

You can fix this problem first then chech the distance again.

Hi

It appears as though you have fixed the error although the place where the error was is now reading the correct measurement but to 3 decimal places.

Is there any chance you can explain how to fix the issue as i have already made significant changes to the file I posted and incase if happens again I would like to know how ro resolve the issue myself.

You can either try FLATTEN command in Express Tools or attached CHZ20.vlx to fix Z elevation problem.
