Distance tool prints to report view, how is this queried with python?

Only used measure a few times. It seems that in 0.20 there is no distance object appearing in tree, with properties. Rather: it prints to report view.
How to access distance variable shown here with python?

In FreeCAD is three Measure systems
App::MeasureDistance
This draws white line, object is saved in Tree and have access from Python.
Call from: MainMenu > Tools > Measure Distance
Part_Measure
This draws colored lines, object is NOT saved in Tree and NOT have access from Python. It prints in the report view.
Call from: MainMenu > Measure ( If Part WB is active )
Measure.Measurement()
Call from Python. It not draw

Measure.Measurement()
where does one read up on Measurement() methods?
Part_Measure was going to use this for its orthogonal measure... If any GUI experts reading, how to save the report view as text, with python
App::MeasureDistance this doesn't have orthogonality it seems, but I'll try make a FPO to use it... :/
How do I make a FPO which allows user to select two points in GUI?
Code: Select all
def create(obj_name):
obj = App.ActiveDocument.addObject('App::MeasureDistance', obj_name) # Creates a new FreeCAD FeaturePython
measure(obj)
return obj
class measure():
def __init__(self, obj):
self.Type = 'measure'
obj.Proxy = self
def execute(v1,v2):
v1 = Gui.userinput
v2 = Gui.userinput
