Hi celticdog, I do expect to have some more measuring and analysis tools in MoI in the future. But is there any specific kind of measurement that you are interested in?

There has already been progress in this area in MoI v2 with a size readout available here, see this previous post for some demos:

re: Relationships - it's unlikely that MoI would end up with a full constraint based relationship mechanism like SolidWorks.

But there has also been progress in v2 in this general area with a new set of tools to make it easier to position an object to connect to another. These are the new Transform > Orient, "PastePart", and "ImportPart" commands, see this previous post for some demos:
