But if I set the manipulator to the origin of the cylinder, then the two selected vertices of distance meter are aligned with manipulator Y axis so I should have dx=dz=0, dy=cylinder length=53.2529? But I read dx=-30, dy=-36.3524, dz=-24.7866 ?!?
Yes, you can switch the basis of the distance between "local" (

) and "global" ( ![[Image: icon16_global.png?raw=true]](https://github.com/nilsschmidt1337/ldparteditor/blob/master/src/org/nschmidt/ldparteditor/resources/icon16_global.png?raw=true)
) mode ."Local" mode: dx, dy, dz depends on manipulator orientation (default).
"Global" mode: dx, dy, dz depends on the world space.
But, there was indeed a bug which calculated the wrong deltas based on the manipulator orientation!
I fixed it today!
