So, the code exists, @realthunder introduced it about 1 year ago IIRC.
Give it a try:
- download Linkstage3 FC
- then M,P shortcut

In FreeCAD Link I just select/enable an option of "measuring (pre)selected geometry"
Maybe one day it will also be available in Master...

Re: How to measure radius
that may be, but i have had bad experiences with addons and try to reduce them to the bare essentials.

Re: How to measure radius
it seems that in realthunder without m p you just move the mouse over the circle and the value is displayed. if you need something like that often, that would be a reason to use realthunder

Not quite how it operates (which I have only learned recently)thomas-neemann wrote: ↑Sat Jan 29, 2022 11:55 am it seems that in realthunder without m p you just move the mouse over the circle and the value is displayed.
so small correction:
You have to enable (toggle on) either of the two options (measure or show info) for those to be displayed
so.. here I have activated measure option and when a geometry is (pre) selected the measurements are displayed Notice it doesn't show geometry info.
It will show measurement until I click/toggle it off

Re: How to measure radius
thanks for the info, found it, was in an unexpected place
Re: How to measure radius
yeah, that's why I do not like keyboard shortcuts - you can't see whether something is on or offthomas-neemann wrote: ↑Sat Jan 29, 2022 12:26 pm ...thanks for the info, found it, was in an unexpected place
Anyway... I better shut up now (before I get banished into Assembly section of the forum again )
