11.4 MEASURE DISTANCE
The MEASURE DISTANCE command can be used to do three things; it can be used
to find the x/y coordinates of a single point on the drawing, it can measure
the distance between two points on the drawing, or it can be used to find
the total length of a vector list.
COMMAND FORMAT
#MEASURE DISTANCE :Loc x1 [x2 x3 ... xn]
If only a single location is entered, the x/y coordinates of the point
entered will be displayed to the console window.
If two locations are entered ( 'x1' and 'x2' ), the absolute distance
between the points plus the delta-x and delta-y distances will be displayed.
( See fig. 11.3 ).
If more than two locations are entered, the combined total of the distances
between each pair of locations will be displayed.
