This STILL isn't implemented? I have to draw boxes to accurately measure?

How come we still haven't got a decent measure tool? SO ANNOYING. Make it snap to points for accurate readings, it's about timeee

Left to guessing exact measurements without snapping feature, let's go!

Yup! There should be an option for snap in the measure tool.

Why hasn't this been implemented yet?

I tried measure tool in V26.0.1 and it sometime snap, but without any indication.

Useful measure tool missing especially when I need to verify final design compliance with client's requirements. Many clients require precise elements and is nonsense to verify distance or angle by workarounds like auxiliary path construction or even calculation. Doing this during client visit does not look professional.

Use extension - ok, but can I trust them? Does it works properly in new AI version? Good measure tool with snapping directly from Adobe is better solution. Please, equip current Measure tool with snap and snap indication, or do someting better.

The measuring tool should be accurate and needs to snap (what is the point if it's not accurate).
Better yet add a dimension tool that snaps and has the measurement displayed (like in fusion 360).

When measuring a distance, I would me nice to have some kind of snappy feedback to know for sure that the user is measuring what is needed.
The current tool feels inaccurate and floating in space.

Please add to the Info Panel a distance when 2 points are selected.

That would make it a dimension tool and we all know they hate the idea of being considered a design software instaed of an illustrating software..............GIVE US A DIMENSION TOOL!!!!

exactly this

You can measure an angle to two degrees of accuracy by drawing a line segment then using the rotate tool to rotate the line. When you rotate the line, the angle of rotation is displayed next to the cursor. Turn on smart guides to make the line and pivot point snap to the elements you're measuring.

I also would like the the measure tool to snap to points. otherwise what good is it?

Big vote on this!
It seems counter intuitive not to snap with the ruler. Especially when all tools do.
In the mean time, Pen tool in CC17 does indicate distance with 0.01 accuracy, and snaps...
Just got to CTRL+Z afterwards to clean up (or go Clean up in the end with object>path>cleanup)

Users resort to creating and deleting temporary rectangles, as these at least snap to points. Daft, in the extreme.

Rendering it inaccurate.

Measure tool just doesn't work with smart guides.
At all.
Why? Why?!
