  I am placing APs around the perimeter of a building.
  Hypothetically I want to initially place APs with 20 metres separation.
  The 'tape measure' tool would let me measure the distance between APs without needing to click twice.
  
  I would also like the optional ability to keep the tape measure distance on screen, allowing me to place other elements without needing to continuously switch tools.

  Thank you Scott for the request! Curious about the use case - where would you use this functionality? To solve which problem? To speed up what? Thanks!

  Rather than just a single line segment, please support polyline measurement - so I can measure from point A, to B, to C, ... and get a total length

  It would be awesome to have a ruler tool to evaluate distances on the map such as coverage radius and/or distances between objects.

  "Ruler Tool" (suggested by <Hidden> on 2024-07-10), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

  Another use case: In overhead LPV designs such as arenas, it's helpful to be able coordinate mounting locations with installation contractors using a AP distances relative to other APs. This would help with precise placement and allow the designer to leave a note such as AP-CWB-101-M1 to be mounted 5.5 ft to the east of AP-CWB0101-L1. The tape measure tool would help us more easily layout those APs consistent with the text notes.

  This would definitely be a great feature to have. Right now I have to pull reports into Bluebeam Revu to add distance calculations and project notes that I want to appear right on the design.
  
  Thank you.

  Absolutly critical feature to add.

  Please add this functionality to reports as well. When sending the report over to cabling contractors for quotes, being able to measure on the screen would be a huge step in the right direction for migrating to 100% digital reports. I've run into several instances where the cablers needed a PDF export so they could measure distances with their own software or even a ruler. The built in calculators are great, but until they start trusting Hamina, they'll want to generate quotes from their own measurements.
