Bug in Inspect Tool

When I use the inspect tool sometimes I want to measure the distance from a face to multiple features. My normal work flow is to 

 

Select the common face as selection 1.

 

Select another face as selection 2. This gives the correct information as expected.

 

Then to check a different measurement, and would select the second face again to de-select it, and then click on a third face to get the dimension from the origianl face 1 selecition and his new face 3.

 

I am sure this use to work buyt but now when you select third face, you no longer get a distance measurement.  This seems like a bug

 

Here I select the bottm face of this part and then select the bottom of the counterbore. It shows a distance of 5.25mm

I then click that counterbore face to deselect it and then select a different counter bore. I get no distance measurement

But if I clear all selections and measure to this counter bore I do get a valid result.

 

I find it combersome to have to always restart my measurements so I am hoping Autodesk can fix this issue.

I do the same all the time as well. Just made a simple model to test and had no problem when I selected the 3rd face.

 

I have seen the behaviour you show but only on imported models, was you part created in Fusion? If you select the counterbore bottom faces in the other order does it work?

 

Can you share the part?

It was created completley in Fusion, but, it is a derived part. I normally create derived parts when I start doing the CAM work.

 

But I just tried the same thing on the oiginal model and it acts in the same way. It does not matter which counterbore I select or in which order. In fact, if I just deselect the first counterbore face, de-select and re-select, it still does not measure the distance.

 

I have attached the file.

Odd, your designs works for me. I select the bottom face of the part then select each counterbore bottom face and I get a distance for each selection.

 

Just realised what I'm doing differently, I don't reselect the face to unselect it, I just select the next counterbore. You don't need to deselect because the measure tool will only let you select 2 faces so it automatically unselects whatever is selected as selection 2.
