How to Measure Radius in DWG FastView for Mobile

If you are looking for a button specifically labeled "Measure Radius" in DWG FastView for Mobile, you might find it missing from the main menu. However, there are several professional ways to find the radius of any circular object. Here are the top three methods to get precise results.

Method 1: Using the "Measure Entity" Tool

This is the most direct way to extract geometric data from an object. Instead of measuring points, you measure the entity itself:

• Select the Object: Tap on the circle or arc in your drawing.
• Open the Toolbox: Locate the Measure Toolbox at the bottom of the screen.
• Choose "Measure Entity": Select this tool and click on your object. If it is a circle or an arc, the app will instantly display the Radius in the result box.

Method 2: Using the Arc Length Tool

Another reliable shortcut is hidden within the Arc Length tool. When you use this tool from the Measure Toolbox to select a curve, the system doesn't just show the length—it also reveals the radius of that specific arc as part of the measurement data.

Method 3: Using the Dimension Tool

Sometimes the best way to "measure" is to "annotate." In the Dimension Toolbox, you will find a dedicated Radius Dimension tool:

• Select the Radius Dimension tool.
• Tap the circle or arc you want to check.
• The radius will appear as a visual label on your drawing.

In this case, dimension = Measurement. The only difference is that the dimension tool leaves a visible record of the size on the drawing, which can be very helpful for future reference.

Whether you use the "Entity" measurement for a quick check or the "Dimension" tool to mark the drawing, finding a radius in DWG FastView is simple once you know which tool to grab. You no longer need a single "Measure Radius" button when you have these versatile options at your fingertips.
