[SOLVED] Selecting a Curved Path for measurement
[SOLVED] Selecting a Curved Path for measurement
I'm attempting to use the visualize> measure path extension to measure the curved path that begins at 14,16 bisects 12,5,and 16. How can this path be selected for measurement?

Re: Selecting a Curved Path for measurement
In the case the curve is segmented or not selectable to make it one path simply draw one upon (needs just 3 knots).
And you need a reference for distance:

Re: Selecting a Curved Path for measurement
Thx for the quick reply Polygon, as I'm still quite unskilled with the bezier tool (even whilst tracing) I duplicated the entire object and deleted the other paths until I was left with the desired curve.
Please, could you explain this step further, how does the reference distance relate to the measure tool? I'm attempting to measure in cm.

Re: Selecting a Curved Path for measurement
You don´t need a reference when your drawing is 1:1 otherwise any scaling will change the measurement values of course. You can select from a bunch of units at the measurement extension:

Thx Polygon, I managed to get the necessary measurements.
