| The
Point-to-Point Distance/Bearing Tool
The 'Point-to-Point Distance Tool' will
show a line between two points, while displaying the:
- Great Circle Distance
- True Azimuth
- Magnetic Azimuth
- UTM Grid Distance and Bearing
- State Plane Grid Distance and Bearing
between the points.
To display the distance between two
points, select the Bombsight or Drag Hand cursor then right-click at the
first point. Choose 'Point to Point Distance: .

From Cursor' then move the cursor to the
second point, right-click and choose 'Point to Point Distance: To Cursor'.
(You can use the Point-to-Point Distance tool to measure the distance and
bearing between two annotations by selecting 'Point to Point Distance:
From/To Annotation'.) All Topo will compute the distance and show the
results:

If the ‘Show’ checkbox is checked, All
Topo will show the projection line with green and red annotations at the
line’s endpoints.

The Point-to-Point Distance tool uses the
system's default settings.
- Before using the Point-to-Point
Distance tool, set the Measurement Spike distance units, as they are
honored by the Point-to-Point-Distance tool.
- The Point-To-Point Distance Tool uses
the UTM and State Plane Zone Code from the 'Primary Coordinate
Display'. You can double click on the Primary Coordinate Display to
reach the configuration screen.
