Measure the distance between objects

The Measure tool calculates the distance between any two points and displays the results in the Info panel.

  1. Select the Measure tool .
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Click the two points to measure the distance between them.

    • Click the first point and drag to the second point. Shift‑drag to constrain the tool to multiples of 45°.

      The Info panel shows the horizontal and vertical distances from the x and y axes, the absolute horizontal and vertical distances, the total distances, and the angle measured.
