Cartesian distance (between and determined by)

[[Gr...]]

In "between" what is the min, max, and center adjusting? In "determined by" on Center, why is 'CAD Entities' the only choice in the drop-down menu? When center is chosen it displays closest to a measurement done with a micrometer.

The "between" section is at what spot on the feature the caliper distance would choose to measure from. "Maximum" would be the farthest points, "Minimum" would be the closest, and "Center" would be the center of the plane. This is more easily described by using a circle instead of planes, if you used 'Minimum" between 2 circles it would measure from the closest section of the circle along its diameter instead of the center of the circle. Maximum would be the parts of the circle farthest away from eachother, and center would be measured from the centerpoint of each circle. If you replaced the planes with circles it would also show in the cad model where exactly from the circle it is measuring so you can mess around with the settings until you understand. If you have more questions let me know

Also, I dont know about the "Determined from" section either, so hopefully someone else here can help out with that part

Determined from will be reported value from calculated shape.

That's why you can have measured points or cad entity.

Measuring MAX from measured point can have different value than from CAD.
Example: measured point is not exactly at -X ( like 10° ). CAD will report max point from calculated circle.

Also why is this topic called "Cartesian distance" while this is calliper distance?
