GD&T distance annotation for displaying measured edge lengths or distances between two entities.
This is part of model-based definition (MBD).
Arguments
| Name | Type | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
tolerance | number(Length) | The acceptable distance tolerance. | Yes |
from | Face or TaggedFace or Edge | The face or edge to measure from. Must be used with to. The default position is the entity center. | No |
to | Face or TaggedFace or Edge | The face or edge to measure to. Must be used with from. The default position is the entity center. | No |
edges | [Edge; 1+] | The edges whose lengths are annotated. Cannot be combined with from or to. | No |
precision | number(_) | The number of decimal places to display. The default is 3. Must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 9. | No |
framePosition | Point2d | The position of the distance label relative to the measured geometry. The default is [100mm, 100mm]. | No |
framePlane | Plane | The plane in which to display the distance. The default is XY. Other standard planes like XZ and YZ can also be used. The distance may be displayed in a plane parallel to the given plane. | No |
leaderScale | number(_) | Scale of the distance arrows. The default is 1.0. Must be greater than 0. | No |
fontSize | number(Length) | The model-space height to use for annotation text. The default is 10mm. Explicit units are supported; bare numbers use the file's default length unit. This changes the scene size, not the internal raster texture quality. | No |
