Single stroke dashes? Measurement tool?

[Susan Zakar 0]

I'm looking at Affiinity Designer as an alternative to the Inkscape I now use.   There are two tools that are essential to me and it is not clear to me if Affinity Designer supports either/both.  (I may have missed seeing them when I tried the demo version. ) Anyone know?

1. Path measurement tool  - Ability to measure the actual length along an arbitrary path  (not the height/width, but like the distance you travel from point a to point b if the path were a road)

2. Convert dashed lines to a path that consists of a series of two-point paths (not rectangles,)

Thanks

You can find a workaround for the next five years here: How long is a curve?

Thanks Oval.  It is a clever workaround.
