[Artboard export as SVG includes a <rect> named Artboard]

Has there ever been progress on that one, or an option that can be set to not have that rect in the SVG? Thx

[Tape measure tool?]

I'm not sure when it was implemented, but I'm using 1.9.3 and if you draw a line, the Transform panel will show its length (the L: field).  No need to sqrt() :)
