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. |
