Feature request: dX, dY, dZ measures in "measure distance"

Post by marcr »

As a user I often use the "view toolbar" that contains the "measure distance" tool. While it depicts the 2 measurement points in X,Y,Z it only displays the vector of the distance, not the dX, dY,dZ components of the vector. Result is that I often use the calculator to calculate them based on the point coordinates.

That's a very good pointer for new users especially if they are predominantly using PartDesign Wb then they are less likely to be aware of the Part Wb > Measure menu.
I use Part Wb features in a customised Toolbar based in Sketcher Wb along with my regular macros and it took me a while to think where I'd seen that functionality before.
