  • Measuring geometry in a computer-implemented drawing tool
    Patent number: 6992685
    Abstract: A computer-implemented drawing tool provides a number of different measurement functions in the context of reviewing and marking up drawings. Drawings may be annotated by the drawing tool using a Measure object, wherein the Measure object is placed proximate to one of the other objects in the drawing and then queries the object for one or more measurement values stored therein. These measurement values may comprise a distance, a multi-distance (e.g., path of travel), or area. The Measure object displays the measurement values queried from the object when it is displayed on a monitor of a computer by the drawing tool.
    Type: Grant
