# OTHER TOOLS

This section discusses system features that are not directly related to the other categories.

## AB Measurement

With the AB measurement ![http://stage.keyaqua.keypro.fi/static/image/ab_measure.png](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/other-tools-image-njfw3wwk.png) tool, you can create measurements on the map. You can use AB measurement to measure a point on the map based on some specific line.

In the main menu, click **AB measurement** ![http://stage.keyaqua.keypro.fi/static/image/ab_measure.png](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/other-tools-image-px2occy1.png) to open the tool. On the displayed AB measurement form, enter the A and B measures in metres and click **Create** to activate the map placement function. First you enter two points in the tool to create a line that is used as the basis for creating the AB measurement on the map. When you have entered the points, use your mouse to rotate the measurement direction in 90-degree steps. Click the left mouse button to accept the measurement.

## Point object

## Exporting objects to external file formats (the Export function)
