Staff MEB Posted May 4, 2016 Staff Share Posted May 4, 2016 Hi eduonline, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) No, there isn't a tool to draw measurements yet. This was already requested a few times and may be added in a future version. You can configure the nudge distances in Affinity Designer ▸ Preferences, Tools section on the bottom (Nudge Distance and Modifier Nudge Distance - this one is for when you press ⇧ (shift) + ←→↑↓).

I change the nudge distance settings a lot and having to do this in preferences over and over again is tedious. Gear maker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer6 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Measurement lines would be very useful as Affinity expands it presence/utility in fields like architecture, signage, engineering, etc. Manually creating them is doable, but tedious and requires multiple steps. Add my bump to add this to the "under development" list. (Or recruit a third party to make a plug-in.) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulSelden Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Being able to scale a drawing and measure objects is vital for me. I currently use Graphic for this, but an implementation in Designer would mean not having to swap out to other software. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I’ve just added some very simple dimensioning objects to the Resources forum: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/102574-very-simple-dimensioning-objects/ They’re not perfect by any means but they might be useful to someone.
