Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): OriginPro 9.0.0(32bit) SR1
Operating System:Winxp
Hi,
I just changed from Origin 7.5 to OriginPro 9. The previous methods, used in 7.5 for measuring distance, don't work properly in the new version. Is there a built-in function in the new version to do it, or something else suggestions?
Thank you in advance! |

Hello, Greg and Snow Li,
Thank you for the information! Now I can use the two methods: cursors and tool button. |

Hello,
Data Info. window will only give dX and dY. No distance will be given. We will discuss if we should improve it for future versions.
We will also discuss with others how to improve this area. (deleting graphic object with script behind it).
Thanks, Snow Li

Starting with 8.0 we decided to protect objects with script from accidental deletion. To delete these 'smart' objects, Alt+DoubleClick on the object to open Programming Control. Set the Script, Run After to None and click OK. You can now delete the object.
You can also delete such objects when in Button Edit Mode - on the Edit menu. Remember to turn off Button Edit Mode when done. |

Dear Echo Chu,
Thank you very much for your suggestion! Now I can use the cursors to do the task.
Of course, the tool mentioned by Snow Li is easy to use if the bug (the line can not be deleted) can be solved.

hi, John
In Origin 9, I suggest you use data cursor to measure the distance between two points.
You can learn how to do that from the tutorial below
http://qhwiki.originlab.com/~originla/howto/index.php?title=Tutorial%3AUse_Data_Cursor_to_Show_the_Difference_between_the_Data
Please note that after you are all set in step 9, you can save the settings as theme, so next time you don't have to do all the steps to set up the difference and cursor1, cursor2 etc |

Dear Snow Li,
Thank you for your reply! I installed that tool in both of the versions: it works in 9.0 at the beginning, but the difference compared to 7.5 is that I couldn't delete the two-arrow-red-line when I press the DEL key in 9.0 (there is no such problem in 7.5). Did I do something wrong?

Hello,
Do you mean this tool in our File Exchange?
http://www.originlab.com/FileExchange/details.aspx?fid=115
It works in 9.0 as well.
You can download it and drag and drop it into Origin 9 and start using it right away.
Thanks, Snow Li
