Feature request #2748 Add "Measure radial" to Std Measure Menu?

[nokian]

Already found some threads about measuring Radius or Diameter. Most of them use the draft dimension tools.

Here, I talk about getting a Radius or Diameter from an existing step file just for information.
Maybe it is possible just by clicking on the Radius once.

What I would find very comfortable is having a third measuring option besides "Measure Linear" and "Measure Angular" in the "Std Measure Menu" of the "Part Workbench".
We can call it "Measure radial" for example.

Users won't have to switch to the Draft workbench just for measuring a Radius.

Would be very cool if @DeepSOIC could add something like this to the Std Measure Menu. Maybe just the Radius.

Especially for new users using the Std Measure Menu an included radius option would be nice.
Should I create a feature request?

hi
the code simplified :

Code: Select all

print "Radius circle : ",Gui.Selection.getSelectionEx()[0].SubObjects[0].Curve.Radius

1: select the object
2: run the macro

create your button and Customize your ToolsBar (waiting....)

for request feature open a post in Open discussion with Feature Request: ......

It's worth a try.

May i add another request?
Is it possible to add the measurement menu item as default everywhere? (It isn't even in the complete workbench...)
