+1 for a measuring/tape measure tool. I use the measure tool in my 5 year old Corel Draw package along with tape measure tool in Sketchup all the time for home design projects. I just bought Designer primarily for it's Isometric grid features, but also so I can share and update my drawings on my iPad as well as my PC. I've just been measuring the kitchen cabinets and designing a new island, but having to manually draw lines and use the text tool to manually type in lengths of combined panels I've drawn is a pain, even a simple measure tool that locks to object handles and adjusts as objects are moved and resized would be great, let alone being able to measure the length of curves.
