Measuring things

I continually draw something and then a bit later, wonder how long is that edge? For a simple solid, I can get the size info by selecting the associated object. For more complex items, this doesn't work.

What I usually do is draw a line along the edge I want to measure, select it, read the size, and delete it. If I used a dimension, I suppose I could cut one step out.

Is there some sort of tape measure I've missed, or can one be added to a future release?

Thanks,
Steve
