Alas, Martine has answered in a PM...there is no measuring tool that is available in Embird Basic...hope they will add one in an update!!!
I only noticed it in studio too. But also, I haven't learned enough to tell you for sure that you don't have it in basic.
just checked mine and only can find the messuring tool in studio, but that means nothing as I am not familiar with wll the features in embird, sorry hope Martine or some other Embird experanced cute can help
I don't know and will be anixous for Cuties to answer - I agree it would be a really nice thing to have.
If you select the Freehand Select Mode (the Lasso) and place your first click at one one end what you wish to measure and then take your cursor to the other end of what you wish to measure, BEFORE clicking, check out the bottom right, beside the word Length, you will see the distance. Once you click at this location, it resets to zero. I wish they would just put the same measuring tool into Editor, but this is a workaround in the meantime. HTH
