Measure Tool Measure Tool

The Measure Tool lets you measure the distance between objects, between an object and a page element (e.g., a placed guide, the page center or the page edge) or between guides. This can be done vertically, horizontally or diagonally.

The tool also lets you scale your document or the currently selected artboard by either setting a scale factor (e.g., 1:100, 1cm:1km) or by scaling to a known distance (e.g., 10 meters) on a currently measured object dimension.

The tool is not part of the default set. However, it can be added to the panel via View>Customize Tools.
