• The Measure tool is the best way to measure short distances on the map. If you want to
measure the distance of a road, try creating a route
. If you want to measure a large
area on the map, use the area object tools in the Draw tab.
• To disable the auto-snap function, hold down the ALT key on your keyboard while using
the Measure tool.
• Measure objects (lines and areas) are saved with the current map file. When you create
a new map file, the measure objects do not display. If you want the same measure
objects on your new map file, you must recreate them.

measurement information is automatically displayed in the Info tab.
