Using the Measure Between Command
With a 3D Support

This task shows you how to measure the distance between sub-elements of the 3D working support grid and geometrical elements.
Open the Integration1.CATPart document containing a 3D working support.
  You must activate Work On Support selection state in the User Selection Filter toolbar to be able to select sub-elements of the grid.
For further information, refer the CATIA Infrastructure User's Guide: Selecting Using A Filter.
