Measure parts edge
Measure parts edge
(OP)
Hello everyone,
Is there a "quick" way of measuring complete edge of a complex part? (or any workaround)
I have unfolded sheet metal part and need to know outer edge length so i can determine how much time we need for machining...
Thanks.

Switch to GSD, and on unfolded body, extract a surface using Tangent Continuity (to have only one surface), then use Measure Item (with perimeter set on).
I believe this can be also automated....
