Measure the Distance/Area of a Field

All Reinsurance Years

Users can measure distance and area on the maps and save those distances as labels for reference. These measurements are stored on a new measurement layer that can be turned or off from the Layers Panel.

To facilitate this functionality, three new options are available from the Tools menu:

1. Go to Tools > Measure Distance. The cursor turns into a point.
2. Click once in the location where you'd like the measurement to begin.

3. Add additional points of measurement by clicking as needed to create a polygon or add a single end point to create a line.
4. Double-click the last point to end the measurement. The Measurement Information popup opens to display the distance. The distance is used as the default label; however, this can be changed as needed.
1. Go to Tools > Measure Area. The cursor turns into a point. The cursor turns into a point.
2. Click once in the location where you'd like the measurement to begin. Drag your mouse to create a polygonal shape—initially, 3-points are available for the polygonal, but you can click to create additional points for polygon.

3. Double-click the last point to end the measurement. The Measurement Information popup opens to display the distance. The distance is used as the default label; however, this can be changed as needed.

To delete an existing measurement, select the measurement on the map surface and go to Tools > Delete Measurement.
