Distances constructed from two lines
Up to three distance constructions can be made from two lines:
• Center distance:
The perpendicular distance from the first line in the features list to the center of the second
• Min distance:
The perpendicular distance from the first line in the features list to the nearest point of the second
• Max distance:
The perpendicular distance from the first line in the features list to the farthest point of the second
Distances from virtual line extensions will be shown if the first line in the features list is not long.
To construct a distance between two lines:
1 Touch the Measure Distance icon
2 Touch the first line feature
3 Press the Enter key
4 Touch the second line feature
5 Press the Enter key
6 Press the Finish key
The center distance will be constructed. Alternative distance constructions can be selected from the drop-
down menu in the DRO window.
