Measuring Tool Uses Points Rather Than Surface

[JW_9194168]

I would like to measure the distance between the centre of 2 holes, usually I would select the measure tool and select the surfaces within both holes to get a distance between the centres. I have tried to do this but the measure tool seems to only want to select certain surfaces and selecting the point rather than face.

Can anyone help with this please?

Change the filter in the bottom right hand corner of the screen to surface so it will only select surfaces.

I make a mapkey for measuring distance to get this every time and then if I need something else, i adjust the filter afterwards.

Try these two options.

activate axis and measure axis - axis

Point to point , first id surf -ctrl-second id surf.

SEE attach both. Hope it helps.
