Macro for radius measurement

Anonymous — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 12:28:03 GMT

Hi All,

I am looking for a macro which will tells me the radius value when I hover my mouse over the radius.

Does anyone has such a macro ?

Thanks,

It is a one line macro:

MEASURE CLEAR_ALL MODE MEASURE START COMMAND 'MEASURE SET_SCALAR' RADIUS_AUTO

In the future, if you want to find these types of commands on your own, turn on echo commands on the home ribbon and start clicking around. All of the commands will be displayed and you can copy them into your own macros.

Thank you very much for your reply, but I meant a measuring method just like found in Powershape, especially to measure the variable radius.

That one is beyond my knowledge. I don't know of a way within the macro language to show or even get that information. It may be possible to create it in a plug-in, but I'm not certain.
