Dear Folks;
Just a simple one this time.
How do you measure center to center distance between two tubes using the measure tool ?
Thanks for your consideration

RE: Measure Center to Center
Hold your cursor over the feature until either the centerline is highlighted or you get the select other tool to pop up. If the centerline did not become highlighted right away, use the select other tool until it becomes highlighted and LMB the box in the center of the select other tool to select the centerline. Repeat for the other feature.
Or my prefered method, RMB on the feature you want pick select other from the flyout menu. Choose the centerline of the feature and repeat for the second feature.
Real easy.

Sounds like you gave me the answer for Solidworks. I already know how to measure c/c with that.
I should have qualified that I am using Inventor 7 in this case.
Sorry to be unclear

It turns out I need to "Select Sketch Elements" before I can get your suggestion to work. Then the "Select Other" right mouse click appears and I can select centerlines.
Many Thanks
