I use the measure tool in solidworks
Comment on It's much easier to just pay attention

You just imported a point cloud, so you can’t snap to the centerline, you measure the diameter.

This actually explains some of the formulas in research papers I’ve read.

or engineers are not smart enough to calculate r=d/2 first

Why would i calculate r? I need only the area. See? Why would I waste my time for an extra calculation.

Just do it in your head? The diameter is 5.62, so the area is π2.81², which is more efficient to type in your calculator than π5.62²/4. You’re the one wasting time.

Life is too short to waste for such things.
