Thanks Michael!

Hi Steve,

Another alternative that may help since you mention measuring edges: select the edges themselves and either read the length from the Properties panel, or click Details and then click calculate length from the Curve properties.

I also use the line tool for measuring features. If you generate a construction line or two, you can also measure to notional points within the drawing. It's probably more useful that the usual measuring tools we see.

Same here. Although...

...that is a good tip.
