Using the Measure Distance feature script

ron_zimmerman · September 2016

When using the feature script 'measure distance'. I get an error message "did not regenerate properly. cannot resolve entities".
I am trying to measure the angle between two lines in a sketch. I get the same error selecting two points, a point and a line, etc.
I click the MD icon, type in a name, select the two entities and click the green check mark.

Guessing here (since you haven't shared a document) -- there are two selection boxes, "First entities" and "Second entities" -- after you select the first line or point, you have to click on "Second entities" and then select the second. The reason it is done this way is so you can measure the minimum distance between, for example, one point and the closest of several lines. Also, without a modification to the FS, you will only get distance, not angle.

I'm trying to use the script. But I can't select any other entyty, but the solid. When I click on a point, or edge - the whole volume gets selected.

@glib_kotelnytskyy they have changed selection priority, use right click>select other command or use the latest version of Measure value FS where body selection is temporary disabled untill this behavior be repaired
