3. Double click the starting point and endpoint or hit Enter on the keyboard after setting the endpoint on a Pattern to complete creating the ruler.
→ A single POM is created and added to Object Browser ▶ POM Tab.
3. Double click the starting point and endpoint or hit Enter on the keyboard after setting the endpoint on another Pattern to complete creating the ruler.
→ A group POM is created and added to Object Browser ▶ POM Tab as a single measurement.

※Note:
- Hold down the Shift key to display vertical, horizontal, and 45º guidelines based on clicked point.
- Right click while creating POM to manually input Distance Moved.
- To cancel while creating POM, press down the Backspace key, ESC or Ctrl + Z keys on the keyboard.
- Check 3D Length in the Property Editor after creating POM. (ver 5.2)
- While creating POM, click a point while holding down the Ctrl key to create a curved POM. (ver 6.0)
- Pattern Outlines and Internal Lines can be traced as POM. (ver 6.0)
Hi, is there a way to measure curved lines with the point of measure tool?
Can you add individual POMs together?
Is there a way we can measure between patterns, for example like a hidden dart from a yoke seam and separate panel seam?
