Line and Offset Application - How to

The line and offset application is a great way to quickly verify distances of points from a specific line. For instance, verifying the design of anchor points from a specific grid line, or, verifying the measured location of specific objects from a wall.

How to Measure the Distance Between Points?

1. Open Your Project: Start by opening any project on your tablet.
2. Open Application: Either from the home screen or from the side menu in CAD view.
   1. If you do not have the 'Line and Offset' in the home screen, select add shortcut and add the application shown below. 
3. Select a Line or an Arc, then a Point: Follow the prompts to get your output.

The line or arc which you select should turn red after which you can select the point. This point should also turn red after which the output will appear on the upper right hand corner of the screen.

Understanding the Output

The line or arc you selected should be listed as "Object 1" while the point as "Object 2". The "Line" measurement is the distance from the start of the line to your selected point. The "offset is the distance from the closest point of the reference line to the point being measured.
