### Orientation for Distance Dimensions

When measuring the distance between two features you have the option of determining how the distance is to be measured by using these orientation options.

- Measure the distance between the first selected feature parallel or perpendicular to either the second or another selected feature.

- Measure the distance between the first selected feature and the second selected feature parallel to or perpendicular to a specific axis.

The Perpendicular To and the Parallel To options allow you to determine the orientation of the features.
