    Hi Jakub,

     

    Use Measures panel to measure distance or gap between nodes.

    Hi Jakub,

     

    i don't know if there is a direct way to measure the average gap between components.

     

    What you can do, is to use the collision detection tool. Here you can check possible contacts between elements and components (safe, proximity, collision).

    As default the icon for collision detection is switched off. Please try this:

     

    * Menu->View->Toolbars->Hyperview->Tools (switch it on)

    * at the new toolbar you can find a icon called 'Collision detection'

    * choose components and necessary options....

     

    Best regards,

    Mario
