Measure Tool - Over riding Text

[I Wish]

Is it possible to over ride the text when using the measuring tool?

This would be a extremely useful feature when "marking up" plans when you want to let the end user know what the measurement should be.

Hello I Wish,

Not directly I am afraid. But you can alwasy add a separate comment (or a new typewriter box) on top of the actual measurement with the value you want.

Also make sure to check this KB article on how you can set the correct scale for a measurement:
I have a problem with changing the units used in the Measurement Tools

Thanks for the reply Stefan,

In the majority of our work we are presented with sketches and we mark it up with notes with the required information that they need to include into their designs.

Minimum corridoor widths etc. Hence the requirement to enter in our own dimensions.

Would be a nice feature anyway for future versions.

Hi I Wish,

Thanks for your comments - we will consider this possibility - but not making any promises here.

Best,
Stefan

Is there a thread where people can post their "wish list"?

Hi I Wish,

Not specifically, but posting them here in this topic is sufficient. We do have a Feature Request list - and we will get to it when v3 is released.

Best,
Stefan

On a similar note. Is there a way to get the measurement tool to display in fractions?
