This is a screencast of a new feature that I have started implementing this week in Inkscape. The Measurement Tool displays the lengths of sections of shapes in the canvas. If you have feedback on this feature, please contact me at juca@members.fsf.org Use it now This tool will be available in the next release of Inkscape (0.49) that is due out in September or so. If you want to give it a try earlier, we have nightly builds of our development version. Visit one of the following pages and download the first link you see: * Ubuntu or Trisquel GNU/Linux launchpad.net * Mac OS X inkscape.modevia.com * Windows inkscape.modevia.com If you have any suggestions regarding this tool, or Inkscape in general — both feature requests or bug reports -- be sure to let me know and I may consider addressing the issues to make Inkscape better.
