Measure between FAN mode-Reselect first object

Measure between FAN mode-Reselect first object

Measure between FAN mode-Reselect first object

(OP)
I am surprised to see there is no option to deselect/reselect First object in FAN mode of Measure between command.
As of now I am restarting measure command, but it is very annoying, since I need to repeat the command for about 200 times in an assembly.
Am I missing some important clue here?

RE: Measure between FAN mode-Reselect first object




you have option to keep selection 1 and go like this:

select 1
select 2: read result (from 1 to 2)
select 3: read result (from 1 to 3)
select 4: read result (from 1 to 4)
select 5: read result (from 1 to 5)

Also another chain mode option exists:

select 1
select 2: read result (from 1 to 2)
select 3: read result (from 2 to 3)
select 4: read result (from 3 to 4)
...

and the default:

select 1
select 2: read result (from 1 to 2)
select 3
select 4: read result (from 3 to 4)


What are you looking for?

RE: Measure between FAN mode-Reselect first object

(OP)
I was looking for:

select 1
select 2: read result (from 1 to 2)
select 3: read result (from 1 to 3)
select 4: read result (from 1 to 4)
select 5: read result (from 1 to 5)

AND

select 7
select 2: read result (from 7 to 2)
select 3: read result (from 7 to 3)
select 4: read result (from 7 to 4)
select 5: read result (from 7 to 5)

WITHOUT EXITING the measure command, i.e. I should be able to select 7 as the first object, after 1st set is completed, without exiting Measure command. Is it possible.
