Point tool The point measurement tool allows you to position a crosshair anywhere on the screen and measure the position. Both the data window attached to the crosshair and Meazure’s tool information section will display the position of the crosshair. The magnifier window will show the area around the crosshair as well as the color of the pixel at the center of the crosshair.

The mouse or keyboard can be used to position the crosshair and fine adjustment can be made with the up/down buttons adjacent to the position text fields. When using the mouse to drag the crosshair, the SHIFT key can be used to lock the motion of the crosshair to the horizontal or vertical directions.
