Reports/Measure Distance is not particularly good at accurately measuring
the distance between two primitives because one must visually attempt to
locate the edges of the primitives. If it falls on the snap grid, fine, but
otherwise Reports/Measure Primitives directly measures the gap between any
two primitives. It seems to be quite accurate.
Yes, if you are going to use Reports/Measure Distance, you may need to be
on a fine grid.
