5 Returns the minimum distance between two geometrical objects and
6 the coordinates of the vector of distance and shows the distance in
9 \note The query for minimum distance can find one or more
10 solutions, or even an infinite set of solutions. All
11 found solutions are listed in a dedicated combo-box. When one of the found solutions is selected, the presentation is displayed in the
12 OCC viewer and fields "Length", "DX", "DY" and "DZ" are filled with the
13 corresponding values. If no solutions have been found, the message "No
14 solution found" is shown.
16 \note The currently used OCCT algorithm finds a finite number of
17 solutions even if an infinite set of solutions exists.
