Illustrator Beta - Measuring Tool

[Hope Hennessey]

Hi All, it would be fantastic if the measuring tool gave measurements in inches/feet as well as points - in the large format graphic community we don't measure in points. I thought that changing the units in preferences would work but it didn't.

Please consider for future releases!

Best,

Hope

Are you able to visit the Adobe Prerelease forum for Illustrator? It's best to share feeback about tools or other features that are in the beta stage there.

It wouldn't let me in there 😞

[Bobby Henderson]

That sounds strange. If you signed up to use a Beta product, such as Illustrator, you should see a tab on the Prerelease main page showing "My Programs," which would list any Beta applications you're using. Click on the "View Program" button to go to a given beta application's main page. That gives you access to downloads, discussions, etc.

Got it - thanks Bobby!

What version are you using?

[Hope Hennessey]

The latest version, I just installed it last week

Must be a Beta thang, it works with whatever ruler measurement is selected for me (non-B, 17.5)...

To give feedback in a beta, it is better to use one of the options in the upper right corner.

Hope, double click the tool itself to change to feet, inches, etc. 🙂
