    Need More Info  ·  Yogesh Sharma responded

    A couple of questions on this:

    1. Would it be okay to have a separate spec creation service much like the upcoming Adobe XD service? On this service, anyone with a link, can select any objects, and view its dimensions (W/H), colors, fonts etc. Or should it be inside Illustrator.

    2. Are you only going to create horizontal, and vertical dimensions? Or would you also like to have angular dimensions as well?

    Please share more details about your workflow.

    Thanks,
    Yogesh

    Adam DeHaven has written a fantastic Script that does dimensioning in Illustrator. It works from version 5 onwards. Maybe Adobe should give him a fat reward and simply incorporate it as standard. You can get it here (it's FREE!):
