Ved,

What version of E-Drawings do you have? The measure command is only an option in E-Drawings Professional not the standard free version. If you have E-Drawings Professional there should be measure icon similiar to what it looks like in SWx.

eDrawing Pro only appears to measure hole diameters, line lengths, angles & point to point distances ... not arc length. In fact, it appears that arcs are converted to short line segments.

vedprakash,

You can take radius and diameter measurements in e-Drawings. However, you must have e-Drawings Pro, as Heckler said. Also, if you were not the person who created the e-Drawings file, the file needs to have been saved with the "Measure Enabled" option checked. And finally, I can only get the Measure command to work in the full UI; the simplified UI doesn't allow me to take measurements.

I hope that helps...

i have e-drawing pro and I created the e-drawing with 'measure enable' option checked.i got the measure command also in full UI, but i could not able to measure the radius of an arc where as i can measure the diameter of the hole/boss provided the hole/boss is straight.In case i try to pick the arc or the edge of the tapered hole/boss it picks the line segment instead of the arc/diameter.

I have the same observation which CorBlimeyLimey has.
