| Tip: When measuring an angle using either the Measure Item or the Measure Between command, you can drag the arc to compute its conjugate. |
Measure Item
When you select the element to measure, the pointer indicates the geometry type associated with the pointed object.

Measure Between
After the first measurement selection is made, you need to select the second object to complete the measure between operation. The pointer again indicates the geometry type associated with the pointed object.
