The slope remains visible and close to the object even if you alter the slope. Note that the value changes as the object is moved. Note: If the object is vertical, the slope value is -% or +%. If the object is horizontal, the slope value is 0. Transferring measurements The Measurement Transfer tool lets you transfer a numeric value to an object. The transferred value remains linked to the original value. If you adjust the length of the initial measurement, all objects created with that measurement are adjusted automatically to reflect the change. The tool can use any measured value or numerical text entry as the value to transfer. You can transfer the value to: • An axis -This creates a point on the axis at a distance equal to the transferred value. • A new circle - This creates a circle with a radius equal to the transferred value. If you later delete the original value, the circle is also deleted. • An existing circle - This defines an arc on the circle. You set the starting point, and the transferred value is used to create the ending point. • A ray or vector - This creates a second point on the ray or vector at the transferred value, as measured from the object's endpoint. 518 Graphs & Geometry
