    The Ruler -- measurement macro

    The built-in measure tools are fine for getting perpendicular distances to
    planes and between points, but what about curved edges and surfaces? I was
    frustrated by the lack of this ability, so this is my solution. It's a
    general-purpose measurement tool to get the closest distance between points,
    edges, and surfaces.
    Feel free to use it for whatever you like; if you have any suggestions or
    bugs let me know.

    The file is in the autodesk.autocad.customer-files newsgroup.

    Developed in Iv5.3, will hopefully work in Iv6.

    The code is password protected, but if you want to take a look let me know.
