Mesures rapides avec la barre d'état (améliorée dans SOLIDWORKS 2015)

If you need quick measurements from your model, you don’t always have to launch the Measure tool.  Selecting edges or faces will give you simple values in the Status Bar at the bottom of your screen.  Depending on what you select, you can find some useful information.  NEW in SolidWorks 2015 is the ability to select cylindrical faces.  Here are a list of selections you can use for a quick measurement.
