Hi

I can't find the Dimension Tool form the toolbar in Illustrator Beta 28.0

Do I need to add it to the toolbar? Or am I being blind?

Thanks

Ya, you have to go back to the 27. beta. I hope it becomes a regular feature. It's very much like the CADdoor extension. I do a lot of mockups for displays and signage and always have to dimension everything. So this becoming an in-house feature is very long awaited.

Hello @Lindley01924 @hekselsior @FongChiLok0201 @Martin Abe,

 

I understand your concern regarding the missing Dimension Tool in Adobe Illustrator Beta Version 28.0.32 and later. I'd like to provide some clarity on this matter.

 

The Dimension Tool has been temporarily removed from Illustrator Beta Version 28.0.40. The reason for this removal is that our development team is actively working on core enhancements and improvements to this feature.

 

Rest assured, the Dimension Tool will be reintroduced in a future update, and when it returns, it will come with additional capabilities.

 

Thank you for your understanding, and stay tuned for updates on this feature's return.

Best regards,

Anshul Saini

Great to hear. I am unable to roll back to version 27. I will wait to see what is coming.

Yes, it's gone missing in this version (28.0). I reverted it to version 27.8.1, and the Dimension tool is back.

It's pretty usual for beta software that functionality goes on and off.

If it's not there when you switch to the Advanced toolbar, then it's currently not there.
