Hi to all. I have in mind work on meassure tool.
The goal is: * Allow reposition of meassure * Store the last meassure start/end point to redraw it on tool reload. * Make it optionaly visible in others/some tools and maybe editable * Convert to Gides * Snapping, not sure is a good idea, but need to learn more about snapping.
Tell me if anybody want discuss about. Also ping me if anyone want help in any part.
All the best, Jabier.
Convert to guides seems very interesting.

Hi Jabier,
Snapping is essential in a measurement tool IMHO. Measuring should be accurate, and accuracy implies snapping.
I'd be happy to help you out with that part if needed, don't worry. I also believe that you might need to add "refactoring" to your list, because that code really needs some love.

Hi Diederik, thanks very much for your offer.
Now i have a cuestion: Could I snap to a line/point that is not a/in item - I want to snap to previous meassure origin, and to some points created in the meassure-.
This also could be useful to snap to other objects like illustrator smart guides.
All the best, Jabier.

I use Inkscape all the time to make commercial packaging, product design, and connection display walls. One thing that would be very useful is to alt-click on a part of the measurement to turn it into an object line segment with the measurement in text. The line segment could have start and end caps like a measuring line.

Hi Jabier,
You can currently only snap to things that are permanent and part of a document, such as an item/guide/grid/page border. Something like a "previous measurement location" is only known within the measurement tool, so if you want to snap to that you will have to handle that in the tool itself.
Best regards,
Diederik
