Measure-tool - snap?

[MrGlad8]

How do I snap the measure-tool to for example a corner? I dont want to relie on my shaky hand Tried holding down like ctrl or something but doesnt seem to work!

With the Dimension lines tool, double clicking on the side of a room, a wall or an object will create a dimension line measuring that side. Isn’t it more handy?

Absolutely! It works nice on objects for example a window, or a whole wall in a room. But if I want the measure from the corner to where the window start, it doesnt works just by double licking because then it still takes the whole wall even if its a window in the way. Or am I doing something wrong?

When the mous pointer is on the corner, there are some vertical and/or horizontal guide lines that should help you to click at the right point. Hope you can use them.

Apologies for replying to a thread from the past decade; I have the same question as OP, and the same lack of trust for my pixel-perfect clicking abilities.

I wish to measure the distance between two parallel walls:
- How can I make sure that the *first* click is precisely on the side of the wall?
- Even harder, as there are no guides in that case, how can I make sure this is also the case for the *second* click?

Thanks!
