How to measure radius

[VincentSkerved]

Do anyone know if there is any development or plans for a "quick measurment" standard tool for distances and curves?

Such a tool already exists, in Linkstage3 branch of FC though, not in master one.
So, the code exists, @realthunder introduced it about 1 year ago IIRC.
Give it a try:
- download Linkstage3 FC
- then M,P shortcut

Thanks alex. Do you know if there are plans to include it in the master?

What a complicated and convoluted way of doing things
In FreeCAD Link I just select/enable an option of "measuring (pre)selected geometry"
Maybe one day it will also be available in Master...

that may be, but i have had bad experiences with addons and try to reduce them to the bare essentials.

it seems that in realthunder without m p you just move the mouse over the circle and the value is displayed. if you need something like that often, that would be a reason to use realthunder

Not quite how it operates (which I have only learned recently)
so small correction:
You have to enable (toggle on) either of the two options (measure or show info) for those to be displayed

so.. here I have activated measure option

and when a geometry is (pre) selected the measurements are displayed

Notice it doesn't show geometry info.
It will show measurement until I click/toggle it off

thanks for the info, found it, was in an unexpected place

yeah, that's why I do not like keyboard shortcuts - you can't see whether something is on or off
Anyway... I better shut up now (before I get banished into Assembly section of the forum again )

I have no idea.

Realthunder, is a PR submitted to merge your great measurment tool in master branch?
