need Measure minimum distance

Hello,

in V8i we get a clear highlighted line to show the minimum distance measure. This is not available in CE anymore. (And on top of that the interference detection tool is also gone in CE !).

So please correct the measure minimum distance tool in CE so that we see a clear highlight line of that measured distance.

This is critical for us with regards to safety distances in high voltage substations and aerial lines design.

Thanks,

Nico

Hi Nicolas,

in my opinion this discussion is wrongly focused and you asked for something that works, see attached picture for 3D measurement. The minimum distance is displayed in the same way even in 3D:

When I tried your test case (thanks for it), the problem is not in not displayed minimum distance, but the tool clearly reports that the distance cannot be measured!

For sure it's bug, because a minimum distance between any elements always exist, but it's not about something is not displayed / available, but the measurement algorithm is corrupted.

With regards,

Jan

Thank you for your reply Jan. The issue has been logged as a defect by Bentley. In our case it is in a 3D rotated (iso-metric-like) view. Image attached is in V8i. also dgn attached.minimum distance between.dgn

Hi Nicolas,

can you provide more details what version do you use and also what tool do you mean?

In Update 13.1, when I use Measure Distance tool in Minimum Between mode, the minimum distance is highlighted in the same way as in V8i.

With regards,

Jan
