Adding a measurement to a drawing

[iMac1943]

In V1 it is not possible to make a measurement between two points as it can be done in a program for architect.

is this possible in Affinity Designer2?
 

thanks for answering

Serif added a Measure Tool to Designer in V2.

Thank you Ron P. That’s quick! Due to this I’ll buy V2!

V2 allows you to measure the distance. But it does not provide a way to add that information to your document. You'll need to do that manually.

Which IMO is a pretty missing time saving feature here. Ideally there should have been also some option then to take/glue over the shown up measurement distance & area value data - on a user's demand - ready to reuse into the drawings!

That's correct. That is why I wait to upgrade to V2.

You can also try it with a little imagination. I create a hall plan for an exhibition/trade fair twice a year. I use this construct for dimensioning, which works both manually and numerically. Typing a number into the text field is no problem for me.

Of course, the group as a whole must be scaled.

This is a good idea Palatino. Thank you, I’ll do it that way!

thank you!!!

And there’s this if you only need a few simple dimension lines (for V1 and V2):
