Quick Measure
At a glance
- With no operation open, click the model to measure—the same Quick Measure as Drafting
- Length, radius and diameter, area, min distance and ΔX/ΔY/ΔZ between two picks, angles
- A hover popover shows every value in both inches and millimetres, click to copy
- Values appear instantly, then refine to fully exact precision a moment later
Quick Measure lets you check the part without leaving Mill or opening an operation. With no operation active, the viewport behaves just like Drafting's: hover highlights edges and faces, and clicking selects them — whole chains, single edges with Shift, faces, or several at once.
Instant readout
Selected geometry shows measurement chips right in the View HUD — length, radius and diameter, area, minimum distance and ΔX/ΔY/ΔZ between two selections, and angles. A hover popover breaks out every value in both inches and millimetres, with click-to-copy.
Exact numbers
Values appear instantly from the on-screen geometry so there's never a wait, then refine to fully exact measurements a moment later — the same precision Drafting's Quick Measure gives, so you can trust a diameter or a wall thickness before you program the cut.
