Length of a curve/spline/line seeable by clicking on it

If you hover over a line, curve or node, it shows you the length, angle and/or length will show:

I hope these help you.

Yes. We’ve had some discussion of implementing a new tool of sorts to be able to compare 2 halves of a seam.

A method to "walk the seams" and check seam lengths

If you have also the formula box always shown, while you can add the odd inch or two faster, you basically lose half the number of “comparisons” that can be shown at the same time, unless you have a big monitor. IMO the compromise (since it’s a tool to check measures, while designing with other tools) would tend to go towards seeing more measurements. Adding the odd inch is just a click on the Fx button away. compare the following, which are built using screenshot parts, all at the same scal…
