This function calculates the distance between two
nodes/points selected by cursor pick or key in node/point number. The program
displays a CONTROL OPTION window as shown in Figure
1.6.1. The operation on SELECT BY CURSOR and KEY IN ID is the
same as in IDENTIFY NODE function. REJECT LAST allows the user to reject the
last selected node. Once two nodes are selected, the program labels the distance
and X, Y, Z components between the selected nodes/points on the screen, and
also outputs the information in the message window.
