Measurable Parameters
516
The set of parameters that can be measured by the command “PM: Measure Element or relation
between two Elements” depends on the selected object of measurement. Follows below is the list of
parameters for all 2D and 3D objects.
The command uses the function get() for measuring parameters. Syntax description and examples
of standalone use of this function are provided in the chapter “Variables”.
2D elements
2D nodes:
“X” – X-coordinate of the node;
“Y” – Y-coordinate of the node;
Construction entities:
Straight lines:
“X”, “Y” - coordinates of the first point through which the construction line passes;
“P1”, “P2” - coordinates of the second point through which the construction line passes;
Circles and ellipses:
“LENGTH” – length of the circle or ellipse;
“P1” – circle radius (this parameter is specific to circles);
“X”, “Y” – coordinates of the circle or ellipse center;
Splines, 2D paths, functions and offsets:
“LENGTH” – element length;
Graphic entities:
Straight segments:
“LENGTH” - segment length;
“START_X”, “START_Y” – coordinates of the segment start point;
“END_X”, “END_Y” – coordinates of the segment end point;
Circles:
“LENGTH” - arc length;
“CENTER_X”, “CENTER_Y” – circle center coordinates;
“ANGLE” - angular length of a graphic entity;
“RADIUS” – arc or circle radius;
Ellipses; splines; curves constructed by 2D path, offsets and functions:
“LENGTH” – element length;
for graphic lines constructed as a circular or elliptical arc, portion of spline, 2D path, offset or
function, there are following additional parameters:
“START_X”, “START_Y” – coordinates of the arc start point;
“END_X”, “END_Y” – coordinates of the arc end point;
