> ## Creating 2D Vector Markup Measure Entities

> When marking up 2D vector files, in addition to all the markup options available for 2D files, you can create markup measure entities. The measure options in Markup mode work slightly different than in View mode.

> See 2D-Specific Markups

> Measure options vary between vector and non-vector files. For vector files, AutoVue provides the option to “snap” to fixed points on the drawing. For non-vector files, you can only “free snap”.

> When measuring in Markup mode, the specified measurement lines and values are displayed on the current active markup layer as entities. These entities can be moved, resized, hidden or deleted. You can also modify the font of a measure entity, align a “free snap” measure entity to the horizontal or vertical axis, as well as add units of measure and symbols to a measurement and have them appear on the drawing.

> Note: When you are creating a markup entity, you can press the Escape key to cancel.

> In Markup mode, you can choose from several measure options to create markup measure entities. From the Markup menu, select Add Entity, and then select Measurement to access the following measure options:

> Option | Description
> --- | ---
> Angle | Measure the angle between selected points. From the Markup Entity toolbar, you can also click Angle .
> Arc | Measure an arc entity. From the Markup Entity toolbar, you can also click Arc .
> Area | Measure a selected area. From the Markup Entity toolbar, you can also click Area .
> Distance | Measure the distance between two points. From the Markup Entity toolbar, you can also click Distance .
