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.

A definite time saver! Hope to see it by Feb. 2024.

Hi @17645014,

The Dimension tool is still available in the general release version of Illustrator, currently at version 28.1, and the latest beta, v28.3.10.

I hope this helps, and feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns!

Best,

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.
