Quick Reference

You can retrieve information about the relation between two specified points: for example, the distance between them or their angle in the XY plane.

To determine the relation between two points, you can display the

• Distance between them
• Angle between the points in the XY plane
• Angle of the points from the XY plane
• Delta, or changed, X, Y, and Z distances between them

  

The ID command lists the X, Y, and Z coordinate values of a specified point.
