Info

The "Info" command is the fastest way to get information from objects on the drawing. Draw two circles. Start the "Info" command and select the circles.

The command shows the following information:

Information about the selection

The upper area of the box provides information about how many objects are selected and their total length. The bounding box gives information about the area and the size needed for the objects.

Can this information be used for calculating cutting costs?
Yes it can, but you have more exact tools if you make a complete cost calculation, which needs more time. This "Info" command is very quick.

Object information

The lower area of the box provides information about each object in the selection.

Select one object in the list to highlight that object on the screen.

The green rectangle shows the bounding box, the yellow object is the selected object on the screen.

Distance

This command needs two points and will display the information on the command line area, Picture 201.

Id

"ID" shows the absolute coordinate in X and Y for the selected position. "Absolute" means the coordinate position in relation to IGEMS fixed zero point.
