Measurements

Hi guys,

I just installed Librecad today and so far it has been really nice and intuitive ... I just have one problem which I could not find a solution for via Google nor via Help;

Lets say I simply have drawn one line - how do i make the program show its length? I dont want to measure the length for myself but have it displayed, like in a technical drawing!

Sorry if this was kinda hard to understand ... my native language is not English!

Thanks,

Leif

In "CAD terminology" you can ask the length of a line of more than one way.

Menu "Info->distance point to point" (activate snap endpoints)
Menu "Info->Total length of selected entities" (selecting only the line)

or you can draw a "dimension"
Menu "Dimension->linear" for x/y dimension or ortogonal lines
Menu "Dimension->aligned" for oblique lines.

For deleting entities use
Menu "Modify->delete" then select entities to delete or
select entities, then press "scape" key

In the 2.0 series, Total entity length is shown for selected together with number of selected entities.

thanks for the quick help guys, this is awesome !
actually think i would have found it myself if my english was better;
didnt know "dimensions" referred to what i was looking for :)
