Feature Request: Display perimeter with area tool

Post by PDFGeorge »

I notice while marking out an area, that the perimeter distance shows until one double clicks to finalise the area measurement. Then only the area shows when selecting the object.

1. Can a feature be added that the area tools also displays the perimeter measurement? At present I must mark out complicated shapes twice to display the area and the perimeter distance.

2. It would also be lovely to be able to change the measurement ratio after creating/placing an object.

Thanks for great software.

Hi George,

thanks for the posting.

While not yet displayed in V3 beta, both Area and Perimeter will be displayed in both Tools when it is released in March.
2. It would also be lovely to be able to change the measurement ratio after creating/placing an object.
This is available for V3 and is functional in the Beta already: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/company/new ... s/view/120
