How to measure distance between pin center and board outline?

Hello,

             I need to measure the exact distances between a pin center and board outline along X axis and Y axis. How can I do that?

Thanks.

    So try the Check - Measure (or Display Measure) command. Check the Find Pane to make sure the items you want are enabled then select the pin then the board edge. If you are happy with the selections (or need to be more accurate) hiver over the item and right click - Snap Pick to - Object type (pin, segment vertex etc).
