With the new version of the NX, all measure commands combined in a one single “Measure” command. In older versions, there are several commands to measure like Simple Distance, Simple Angle, Simple Length, Simple diameter. (They are all retired with the NX CR version. They are retired but you can use these commands in the NX CR.). All these commands inserted in the “Measure” command. That’s because sometimes you might have several problems.
Problem 1:
I can not measure the distance between two objects.
Solution 1:
- Activate the “Distance” function in the “Result Filter” tab on the command window. (The problem might be occurred because of deactivated functions in the “Result Filter”)
- Look “Object to Measure” tab in the “Measure” command window. Try different objects. (Object Set might be selected) Probably the problem will be solved after “Object” in the tab selected.
- Look selections on the list. Unnecessary objects might be selected. Remove these selections from the list.
Problem 2:
The result is not seen on the screen.
Solution 2:
- Try solutions 1.1, 1.2, 1,3
- Zoom in or out the screen. The Measure might be out of the screen.
- Look “Measure” setting preferences. Your measure type might be deactivated in the preferences settings.
Problem 3:
I can not select the second object to measure
Solution 3:
“Object Set” in the “Object to Measure” tab selected. Change this selection as “Object”
