Hi,

I am trying to measure a thin square pad. In the plan view this pad has filleted corners. I need to measure the radius to radius (circumferance edges) diagonally. I tried the measure command and could not measure from this. It gives center to center only.

Can some body pl help.
Thanks

In the Measure Between dialog select "Surface Only" for both selections. Then select the Customize button, another dialog will come up. Check the "Maximum Distance from 1 to 2" Now select the two opposing surfaces. You should get the measure you want.
