Measure Tool

Measure an angle on the canvas. Nothing is drawn on the canvas with this tool. It will inform you of an angle and tell you how long the line is. As soon as you switch to a painting tool, the angle assistant will disappear.

Measure Tool – Measures the length and angle between two points.

While you will not use this tool much, it can be useful at times. For instance, if you scan some artwork and it is crooked, you can use this tool to determine how many degrees it is off. Once you know the angle, you can go into the image properties and do a custom rotation to straighten it. You can only have one angle drawn at a time.

This can be used for finding a document bleed area or straightening scanned images.
