How to Measure Areas and Distance?
The Measure Tool on the Map Tool bar can be used to measured distances or areas on the map. Measurement units can be defined as meters, feet, yards or kilometers. Once the Measure Tool is selected, the user can define the points that outline the area by using mouse clicks. Line or text symbols are provided as visual aids. As you continue to add points, the total area and perimeter results are updated. Click the Clear Selection Tool to reset the selection.
