Looks like there's no easy way to get the bounding box from GUI. A workaround might be using "snapping to points on entity" and vertical dim.

The bounding box is available by API, and there are several ways to implement new features:

1, a new action, draw bounding box for selected entities;
2, print bounding box information in "Properties" or "list entity";
3, display bounding box for selected entities;

I'm designing a new leather bag and one of the parts has the shape as attached.
I am trying to find the lowest and highest point of the shape on the y-axis which should be around where the arrows point out.

Is there a way of having librecad showing this?

Thanks
