I have expressed interest in exploring assembly4 measurement tool if it was available as a free-standing tool.
(I am not interested in installing assembly4 just to use this tool).
I do not agree that it should replace current default measure tool,
nor do I think that current default measure tool "...takes up a lot of toolbar space..." (that's what customise toolbar is for)
and/or that it "...is not very intuitive to use..."
It has it's limitations, but that is why I also use other tools.
I would be interested to add assembly4 measurement tool as one more option available to all.
I am using Link branch and Assembly3
you can also download ... and try it here
excellent Assembly3 tutorials here
I also believe that the measurement tool in Assembly4 is a very good tool. It is easier to understand how it works and I can measure quickly most of the things that I want. It can measure distances between points, edges and faces, and show the projections of these distances. It would be nice if it could be a global measurement tool for the workbenches in FreeCad, in the next release.
