ToolsInfoTwo Entities


 

The Two Entities command displays geometric information about pairs of entities. The information displayed depends on the types of entities selected.

point - point displays the coordinates of both points and distance between them
point - curve displays the coordinates of the point entity, the shortest distance between the point and the curve, and the parameter of the point on the curve closest to the point entity
line - line displays the shortest distance between the lines, the angle between the lines in the XY-plane, the parameters of the two closest points on the lines, and the co-planarity, parallelism and perpendicularity of the lines
curve - curve displays the shortest distance between the curves, the parameters of the two closest points on the curves, and the co-planarity of the curves
point - surface displays the coordinates of the point entity, the shortest distance between the point and the surface, and the parameters of the point on the surface closest to the selected point
curve - surface displays the shortest distance between the curve and the surface, the parameter of the point on the curve closest to the surface, and the co-planarity between the curve and the surface
surface - surface displays the shortest distance between the surfaces, the parameters of the two closest points on the surfaces, and the co-planarity of the surfaces

Applying the command to two entities belonging to different shared groups
When applying the command to two entities (lines, arcs, ellipses, NURBS curves) belonging to two different shared groups:
  • Specific info will be displayed in the case the two selected entities belong to shared groups with different scale factors
  • The Scale factor will be displayed in the case the two selected entities have the same scale factor, but such factor is different from 1.
