With DIST, AutoCAD LT reports the true 3D distance between points. The angle in the UCS XY plane is relative to the current UCS X axis. The angle from the UCS XY plane is relative to the current XY plane. DIST assumes the current elevation value if the Z coordinate is omitted from the first point or second point.
The distance is displayed using the current units format.
