ruler command in eagle?

autodeskguest

Is there some way to tell the distance between two points in the Eagle pcb

layout?  Right now I'm just watching the cursor and writing down the XY

coordinates and calculating it the hard way.

 

I searched for "ruler" and "measure" but can't find anything in the

manual...

 

Thanks in advance.

    Use the mark command.  Help says: "The MARK command allows you to define

    a point on the drawing area and display the coordinates of the mouse

    cursor relative to that point at the upper left corner of the screen

    (with a leading 'R' character). This command is useful especially when

    board dimensions or cutouts are to be defined. Entering MARK; turns the

    mark on or off."

    Check out the EAGLE Power Tools by Falk Strciker (see download area) - there is

    a measurement tool there.
