Measure

Measure distances and angles, without storing the result.

⚠ This tool doesn't draw yet. It exists in the bar, it has a key and it has a card — but the behaviour described below is the designed one, and it arrives in a future version.

Step by step

  1. Click the first point.
  2. Click the second point — the distance appears live.
  3. The number disappears when you drop the tool.

Worth knowing

  • Measure stores nothing: the number is for reference only, it does not stay in the drawing.
  • For a measurement that persists and follows the geometry, use Dimension.
  • Useful for checking dimensions before drawing, or for calibrating an imported image.
