Measuring the length, radius and distance?

[Coco]

In Mastercam 2021 demo,

1. Is there a way to measure the length of a line that is all ready drawn?

2. Is there a way to measure a radius of an arc?

3. Is there a way to measure the distance between two lines that have already been drawn?

Select the entity and hit F4

Thank you, gcode.  "select the entity and hit F4" works.   

What if there is no entity...What if I want to measure the negative space between entities?  Is there a tape measure of some kind?

What nickbe said -> Home -> Analyze Distance

Thank you, nickbe and Thee Byte.   I now see the "Analyse Distance" in the Home tab.   

Cheers,

The functions I use the most, apart from toolpaths, are in my right mouse button.

If I find that I start using a function more and more than it goes to my right mouse.

Ribbons are fun and all, but I don't feel the need to keep scrolling through ribbon bars to do stuff.

Awesome!  Thank you,  I did not know there was  right click customization feature.

Cheers,

F4 is the keyboard shortcut for Home/Analyze Entity
