    Done (In Beta)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    The latest Beta Build 29.3.0.2 now offers a way to calculate the area, using the existing Measure Tool.

    • Select the Measure Tool from the Toolbar.
    • Click on a closed path to calculate its area (for now it has to have a fill, so the area is actually ink coverage)
    • The calculated area will be displayed in the Info panel, shown automatically.
    • To calculate the total area of multiple paths, hold Shift and click.
    • Configure measurement options by accessing the flyout menu of the panel. You can customize units, precision, and scale to suit your requirements.

    The team is looking forward to hear the feedback on this new feature — please try it out and make comments.

    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?
