Pitch Line tool and calibrated measurements

I have been trying to use the Pitch Line tool from the Measurement: Direct tab.  The measurement type is set to report both Length (Uncalibrated) and Length.  When I open an image and apply a calibration, then use the tool, the pixel values are reported under Length(Uncalibrated), but no calibrated values are reported under the Length column (just zeros). Am I using this tool correctly?  I am using Image-Pro Premier v9.3.3


Thanks,

John

    John --

    I opened up IMAGE-PRO 10.0.4 and and EXAMPLE IMAGE.

    I performed a SPATIAL CALIBRATION as shown.

    I selected LINE LENGTH and LINE LENGTH UNCALIBRATED as shown.

    I activated the PITCH LINE TOOL and created a PITCH LINE FEATURE SET as shown.



    Everything seemed to work properly for me.

    Can you provide a similar SCREEN CAPTURE that illustrates the issue that you are experiencing?

    I hope this information is helpful.

    John,

    It could be an issue with your spatial calibration, so it has very large PixelSize and the length is rounded up to 0. Please check it.

    Thank you all for your responses.  Yuri-the calibration is 897 pixels per millimeter.  Here is a screenshot that demonstrates my dilemma.  You can see at the bottom of the image, that a calibration has been applied.  Note in the Measurement Table that the Length(mm) column is 0.00000.   If I measure the image without first applying a calibration, I get the same thing (which is what I would expect); but if I retroactively apply the calibration (after the measurements are made), the correct values magically appear in the Length(mm) column.
