measuring min (clearance)   distance

e14candies

Is there a function or way to display & highlight the minimum distance

between two objects(or traces.  Say you have a zig zag shaped polygon next

to a circular pad, or even two zig-zag traces in the vicinity of one

another.  Is there a way to display how close they come to one another?

    Of course the measure tool could be used, but you'd maybe have to set/try a

    lot of endpoints, hoping to find the minimum, since the min could located

    "somewhere" along object A, going over to "somewhere" on object B. 

    Similar functionality must already lie within Eagle, since it can check for

    clearance rule violations between objects.  I'd like to see this made part

    of the measuring tool to show what the actual min clearance IS, WHILE

    moving things around.  Maybe light up a dot at the point(s) that match to

    the min measured distance, to allow for scooting them.

     

    Or is there another way around this, that I'm missing?
