Measurement Tools Enabled by Type of Content

For 2D content
Each measurement markup may consist of a line or lines, arrowheads, and a
label with text and a background color. After you create a measurement
markup, its Font Size, Text Color, Line Weight, Line Color, Fill Color,
Line Style, Fill Transparency, and whether or not dimension text is Bold
can be changed, if necessary, using the Formatting panel on the Markup
& Measure tab. If no markup is selected on the canvas, but a measurement
tool is active, then any changes made using the formatting tools affects all
new markups.
TIP To make it easier to modify measurement markups, select them in the
Markups palette.

However, in some cases, measurements are prevented. Users of Autodesk®
Inventor® R11 DWF Extension (available to subscription customers) or later
can disable the measurement options for some or all sheets or models in the
published DWF file.
