MAt a glance
- Tape-measure tool for the sheet — click two points, get the distance

- Dimension Text Size setting (75–200%) scales the labels
- Escape exits and clears all measurements
Measure (M) is a tape measure for the Plasma sheet. Click a first point, move to see the live
distance, click a second point to drop the measurement — then keep going; every click pair adds
another dimension so you can check several clearances at once. All measurements clear when you
leave the tool with Escape.
Reading it anywhere
Measurement labels draw with a subtle halo in your theme's background color, so the number stays readable when the dimension line crosses parts — including locked (already-cut) parts, whose shading used to swallow the text. Label size follows Settings → Units → Dimension Text Size (75–200%), the same setting that scales sketch dimensions in Drafting.
