measurement labels
I have the illustrator classroom in a book CS4 and also the Photoshop version.

The illustrator book shows an exercise where using the pen tool, a gray box appears to the bottom left of the pen tool stating the measurement that the line is currently at ie, D:1.5 in.

I have the smart guides on but can't seem to find any command that enables the 'measurement label'


Regards
John

Re: measurement labels
Open Illustrator's Preferences dialog, and switch to the Smart Guides section. There's an option there to show measurement labels.

Thanks Steve, does Photoshop have this facility also?

No, it's only an Illustrator thing.
