Measurement function in Allegro Free Physical Viewer

Jojoaction

Hi, I'm using Allegro Free Pysical Viewer to check a .brd design file.

Is there a function to measure distances?

The X and Y Axis value is shown at bottom bar with absolute and relative setting, but it is much afford for diagonal measurements to calculate distances.

    If you are using the new (IMHO brain-dead) 17.4 free viewer, use View>Command & then type in 'show measure'

    If you are using allegro_free_viewer_classic then it's available as Display>Measure & a toolbar button
