Object selection

By selecting objects on a drawing, you can measure objects which are CAD 'entities'.

On the drawing, mark the CAD objects you want to measure by clicking on any part of them. You can also select many objects simultaneously by following the same process that applies to CAD applications, e.g. by clicking on any part of the screen and dragging your cursor in such a way as to include in the marked surface the objects you wish to include in your measurement.

Description: comment_16 By using the ‘selecting objects’ option, you can only measure standalone CAD entities, while you cannot select/mark objects that are within a block.
