Measure length of paths
I use Illustrator for landscape design. Using IPad for real-time designing in the field would really be an improvement. It would really be helpful to have a measurement tool or to see the length in the properties tab. The properties tab now only shows W, H, X, Y. Showing the length of a line would help!

I do sewing pattern design and his is an essential feature for me. Illustrator on ipad is unusable for me without this.

See length of path once completed. I sometimes need to see the length of a curve to match it to another curve with a different shape. I can do this in the desktop version, but not ipad.

Hi,
I use illustrator to make sewing patterns to sell. It has been a game changer for the industry by allowing folks to use illustrator instead of using an expensive software that’s only for patternmaking. The one thing that would make it so much easier is to allow one to measure a curved path easily and quickly instead of having to isolate the path or copy/paste and going into the info dialogue box. A feature like this would surely tip users on the fence about subscribing to the cloud over the line into subscribers. In my humble opinion. Thanks for making the IPad version, I live in illustrator so this makes my life much more mobile and fluid. (Being able to use the Apple Pencil instead of a Wacom tablet) Thanks!!
