Line lengths without labels?
 

Is there an easy way to see the length of a line without adding a label with a length variable to it (a rather cumbersome procedure)? I've been rotating the line to the horizontal, looking at its length in the inspector, and undoing. Seems silly.

I tried both [a] and [b]. Personally, I found [b] far more cumbersome.

Why don't you try this idea:

• place a generic line with a length variable in the label in your stencil
• use the line from the stencil, and draw it where you want it
• the label will show the exact length
• select and delete the label
