There's the option to measure the distance between two points, the angle, thickness or an arc. Other than that, you can measure objects, certain faces, polylines, edges, triangles and a vertex.

SolidView Lite is a nice software solution for viewing and editing SFX files, calculating all sort of things and making some changes to your designs.
