    Hi everyone! Thank you for your feedback so far. 


    As we make progress, we wanted to hear your thoughts regarding the intended functionality of this solution. We are sharing two scenarios forproposed behavior of this functionality, please review these and let us know your feedback:


    Scenario #1: The area calculation will only consider the path geometry of an object and not include the stroke weight as part of the computed area. To calculate the area of the stroke, the object can be Expanded so that a separate compound path is created for the stroke. 


    Scenario #2: Appearance-altering effects (e.g., Drop Shadows, Gaussian Blurs) that do not modify the underlying path geometry will not influence the area calculation. We will continue to calculate the area of the actual closed path.


    We have also attached a visual reference for these scenarios to this post. Please let us know your thoughts!

    We have done further updates to Dimension tool with recently released version - 28.3


    You can create and use your custom scale for dimension, hide or show units on dimensions and dimensions are now sticky to the object - they transform as well when you transform the object.

    Thanks ADOBE!! finally we have dimensions built into Ilustrator. I tried it out in BETA and it works well.

    The only thing we need now is for the dimensions to update when you resize the shapes.

    Sadly we are not getting anywhere with this.

    I DONT WANT A PLUGIN.

    This should be part of the programs tools.

    Even freeware has dimension tools.

    For us professionals who need to submit artwork lay-outs with dimensions it is crucial to have this tool.

    This is the only irritating thing about Illustrator for me. Some free drawing software also has dimension tools but not Illustrator?
