Measure pad size on Allegro Free Viewer 17.4

MatanYe

Hello,

I'm trying to find a way to measure pad size,
All i can do is measuring Air Gap between pads / components by "SHIFT" key.

in the old version 17.2 there was a measurement from clines and more options, now i can't find any way to turn that on in the new version.

Hope anyone can explain me how to do that.

Best regards, 

Matan

    I have not seen this viewer until now.  It looks like Cadence bought an Altium package to view Cadence boards.   This is a useless viewer.

    There are now 2 versions of the free viewer:

    allegro_free_viewer.exe
    allegro_free_viewer_classic.exe

    the 'classic' version looks like the older free viewer...
