SolidWorks Measure Tool, Circle Select is Greyed Out

Have you tried to use the measure tool, under the Evaluate tab, and found that the drop down box to the left is greyed out? I often use this feature to select the edges or center of circles and holes.

Swx_MeasureTool_GreyedOut

 

The problem lies in a new feature in the measure tool, called “Point to Point”. It is selected by default:

 

Swx_MeasureTool_PointToPoint

 

Simply un-select the “Point to Point” tool, and the “Circle Select” drop-down will become available:

 

Swx_MeasureTool_CircleSelect
